Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
I wish to thank you, Mr. Bédard, for being with us.
I am happy to hear my colleague opposite speak about fairness, given that we are talking precisely of fairness, or rather of unfairness.
You are in agreement with the principle, as we are as well. From what I understand, you recognize that this bill establishes a certain inequality between the self-employed outside of Quebec and those of Quebec. I would like to underscore, for my colleague's benefit, that we are talking here of compassion and sick benefits for workers in Quebec, but of all of the benefits, including parental benefits, for those workers living outside Quebec.
In your document, you make the following recommendation: “Rather, we should select a funding mode that is proportional to the cost of the new benefits, and relatively stable.“
Must we take that as meaning that you are recommending the same benefit rate for all self-employed workers?
