If you don't mind, Mr. Chair, I would like to provide some clarification.
On December 5, 2004, with the Liberal government in power, at the request of the committee, we heard Malcolm Brown, who was at that time the Assistant Deputy Minister of HRDC. He provided us with the following information, based on studies conducted by his department.
He told us that it would cost $11 million to increase the maximum number of weeks from 45 to 50. I am point this out for Ms. Dhalla, who asked a question about it. We have the amounts associated with each amendment proposed for the bill.
My colleague would like to ask a question. Please go ahead.
