Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you honourable guests for accepting this committee's invitation to be here.
I am pleased to be here today because I do not usually work on this committee. I am a member of the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities.
I have two short questions for you, Mr. Demers, to clarify certain points.
You spoke of compassionate leave benefits. You would like to see some improvement to those benefits. Could you elaborate on the type of improvements you would like to see?
I would also like to ask you, Mr. Stapleton, to elaborate on the concept you spoke of, namely to move away from the income support programs already in place to go to a unitary system. I would like to hear more of your thoughts on that.
We will start with you Mr. Demers, followed by Mr. Stapleton.
