Canada - January 31 2012
The purpose of the Quebec Pay Equity Act is similar to that of Ontario’s Act, that is, to correct differences in pay scales between jobs traditionally (or predominantly) held by women and jobs traditionally (or predominantly) held by men, where such differences in pay scale are attributable to discrimination based on gender.
