This week we’re talking to Olivia Crossman, who is a Franco-Ontarian lawyer working in Human Resources for the federal government of Canada. For three years Olivia taught Human Rights Law at the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law, and on this episode we cover some of the topics taught in this course. One of the main things we cover is the difference between pay EQUALITY and pay EQUITY. Olivia explained the legal framework of pay equity and broke it all down so we could understand how we got to where we are and whether there are things that can be done to help reduce gender pay discrimination in the workplace.
