Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome.
Indeed, there is a cost associated with all of this. We live in a society, with rule of law, where we also advocate for social reintegration and rehabilitation. We have some good programs that ensure this happens successfully. I would like to state to my colleagues that, further to the comments we have heard, the programs are offered in penitentiaries, and not just in provincial jails where people are more or less left to their own devices when they're released.
I would like to go back to the 104-week reference period you mentioned. I am going to talk about the Quebec example. In Quebec, a woman whose maternity leave is over and who goes back to work only to find out that her position has been eliminated is not entitled to employment insurance benefits. I would like her to be entitled to this 104-week reference period, because she could requalify and receive benefits. Obviously, this is unfair. Are we going to replace one wrong with another? We need change in this area. That is my opinion.
I would like some clarification. How do you see the money and cash inflows? In your opinion, what is the impact of the amounts associated with this?
