Newfoundland (Treasury Board) v Newfoundland and Labrador Assn of Public and Private Employees

'' Newfoundland (Treasury Board) v Newfoundland and Labrador Assn of Public and Private Employees'' The Newfoundland government recognized that women were being paid less than men in many areas of employment in their province. To correct this situation they implemented a pay equity program that was to begin in 1988 and lead to equal wages for men and women. However, the province experienced severe financial difficulties and was forced to pass a bill stating that this pay equity program would not start until 1991. The appellant union argues that this was a violation of th
s.15
rights of female workers, and that they should be reimbursed for the lost wages from 1988 to 1991. This amounts to approximately $24 million. The government also made many other cuts to their spending during these three years including hospital beds and teachers' salaries. Both at trial and at appeal the delay was found to amount to discrimination, but that the violation was saved under s.1.
