mseconded by Cluncillor Coburn
Whereas Bill 105 of the Province of Ontario is draft pay equity
mlegislation designed specifically for the provincial public service
and was amended by the Standing Committee on the Administration of
Justice to cover the broader public sector such as municipalities; and
m w
hereas this Bill was tailored to fit the needs and structure of the
provincial public service and not other groups; and
mwhereas the Bill does not take into account the different pieces of
collective bargaining legislation in municipalities that may cause
pay disparities totally unrelated to sex discrimination; and
m whereas the Bill formulas for gender pre-dominance suitable only uses
for the provincial public service and not municipalities; and
mwhereas the Bill would not grant municipalities a period of voluntary
compliance to identify and adjust pay inequities; and
mwhereas the Bill establishes an enforcement agency that initially
would lack the expertise and knowledge to resolve inequities for more
complex groups; and
mwhereas the Bill wrongly assumes that the provincial government will
pay for all pay equity costs when it is the municipal tax base that
will have to pay for pay equity in municipalities;
m Now therefore the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Picketing
hereby urges the Legislature of the Province of Ontario enact
mseparate pay equity legislation for municipalities after careful
consideration is given to the unique circumstances of local
government; and
mthat a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Honourable David
Peterson, Premier of Ontario, the Honourable George Ashe, M.P.P., Mr. i
Ross Stevenson, M.P.P. and the Association of Municipalities of
mOntario.
