News release

December 12, 2018 Ottawa, Ontario Employment and Social Development Canada

Advancing gender equality is not just good for women, it's good for all Canadians. When Canadian women can count on equal pay for work of equal value, our economy grows stronger, families prosper and communities thrive. That's why, on October 29, 2018, the Government of Canada introduced a proactive pay equity regime that will ensure that women and men in federally regulated workplaces, including the federal private sector, the federal public service, Parliamentary workplaces, Prime Minister's and Ministers' offices, receive equal pay for work of equal value.
