EXCERPTS
Although Ontario has promised to close the gender wage gap, activists say the province isn’t doing enough to follow through.
“The wage gap right now in Ontario, on average, is 30 per cent,” said Carolyn Ferns, policy co-ordinator at the Ontario Coalition for Better Childcare, during a rally Tuesday to mark Equal Pay Day. “The government has committed to closing it and we hope they’re serious about that and they’re going to take action to do it.”
