The Goderich Signal-Star, 1983-09-21, Page 33ti yf: y. BY JACK RIDDELL,. MPP The Legislature's . Stan- / ding Committee on* Pro- cedural Affairs has reviewed the Ontario Status of Women Council. SReaking on behalf *of the.. Official Opposition, Womei's. Critic Bill Wrye addressed, his comments to the relative success of the Cotu cil in fulfilling its man- date and improving the status of women in Ontario. This success can only be measured by the implemen- tation of policies specifically directed towards the needs of women. For instance, 'he asked, what progress has been made in directing the flow of government funding, through such programs as BILD and O.D.C., to those companies which adhere to such government goals as af- firmative action programs? Which of the council's recommendations have been acted upon to date which have improved the situation of women in our labour force? Does the Council see any breakthrough in understanding the problems of day care which is a policy to be .implemented, hand-in- hand with an employment strategy for women? How satisfied is the Coun- cil with the government's `equal pay for work of equal .value' provisions - both within the government and in companies doing business with the government? Finally, now that there is a Minister in place responsible for the status of women in Ontario, along with the establishment of a mechanism, the Women's Directorate, to direct the im- plementation of these policies, what will the ongo- • ing role of the Ontario Status of Women Council be? And specifically, Wrye asked, now that the Direc- torate is in place, at what point will the chairperson think the Council no longer has an effective role to Olay in this process? It will be interesting, he said, to see if the new chairperson feels that the establishment of a Minister and a Directorate is a signal for the phasing out of his Council. Sally Barnes, Chairperson of the Ontario Status of Women Council, told the Procedural Affairs Commit- tee that many employers would work to scuttle legisla- tion guaranteeing women the same pay as men for per- forming work of equal value, with the argument that it represents undue govern- ment interference in the private sector. She believes that before the law can suc- ceed in Ontario, the public needs to be made more aware of the damage done to society by economic discrimination against women. Ontario already has legislation in place guaranteeing the same pay for women doing the same jobs as men. Equal pay for work of equal value legisla- tion would guarantee women the same pay as men for do- ing jobs which may be dif- ferent, but which are judged to be of the same value. On September 13, Bill Wrye demanded release of a background paper and recommendations on an employment strategy for women promised since 1980. In an open letter to the Minister of Labour, he reminded the Minister that this paper was promised most recently during Ministry estimates last December and January. At that time the Minister said, "I anticipate the report will be finalized early this year. The Commissioners will also review an employment strategy for women at their next meeting and I hope to Turn to page 5 A c• lii!S:�a^ S• 1;),. og i p. M8.
