It will spend the rest of the year consulting with groups across the province to examine how the wage gender gap affects women in the workforce and how government, business, labour and other organizations can help address the systemic barriers that contribute to the problem.
The committee is to report back to government early next year with its recommendations on how to narrow a wage gap that — according to Statistics Canada data — ranges from 12 to 31.5 per cent in Ontario.
