As ACT have said, the Pay Equity Act was noble in its intention but completely missed the mark. Scrapping it does not equal "wanting to be able to pay women less".
As reported, under the act, librarians were equated to fisheries officers with the difference in pay decided therefore to be due to gender discrimination. Whether librarians should be paid more, less or the same as fisheries officers is a debate you can have if you feel like it, but claiming that librarians are paid less "because it's predominantly a female occupation" is completely baseless.
