We would certainly save on social costs if we allowed people to really get their lives back on track. When they return to work too quickly and get sick, they make use of psychological or other health services. It is difficult to calculate what that represents.
You asked me whether a similar program is in place in other countries. I know there is one in Sweden as well as in certain U.S. states. In that respect, California is known to have a good family leave regime. I asked some French colleagues whether the same applies to France, and they said no. So, we would have a head start on France in that area.
With respect to your question about the number of people, I think that's important. I hope this bill will pass. One suggestion might be that the Government of Canada do some follow-up and document these issues, which are really being ignored. At the Department of Justice, the Policy Centre for Victim Issues does research in this area. The whole question of the right to redress, restoration and return to work would be an excellent research topic for Justice Canada. This bill may pass. That is certainly our hope.
