I don't sit at HUMA, so I'm coming in with fresh eyes. If you can have a clean way.... It seems to me that one of the cleanest things we've done is the CCB. It's automatic. Nine out of 10 families get it.

I have a question for Mr. and Mrs. Cormier. You mentioned that the 12 months of diapers were going to get paid for anyway, so why couldn't we have three months? Does it make sense to you to have one benefit—whether it's the maternity benefit or the Canada Child Benefit—for three months, or should both be in place? Does it matter to you? What would have helped you?
