Thank you for the question, Mrs. Vignola.
The trend you describe unfortunately applies to the entire labour market.
The use of code 699 has dropped significantly over the past year. In this context, this is why it makes sense to have discussions with managers and to consider the issue on a case-by-case basis. A broader, gender-based analysis was conducted. Discussions with managers can bring solutions, such as work-sharing or reviewing work hours. We need to be able to adjust, so that one group is not penalized more than another.
That said, it is an ongoing process over time. Single parents still face an unrelenting reality.
