Simon O'Connor: The sniff test

The government's use of urgency to change pay equity laws doesn't pass the sniff test but at least now MPs seem to know what a woman is.

I’m a great believer in gut instinct on various matters. Not so much on deciding whether something is right or wrong, but an initial impression as it were.

My gut instinct on the government’s secretive, then rushed, move to change our pay equity laws is not positive. It doesn’t pass the sniff test.
