Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Again, thank you to our witnesses this morning.
I want to start with you, Ms. de Montigny and Ms. Verdon.
Your presentation was outstanding. There's so much information here, so much factual information, studies and so on. I agree with it all, by the way.
At one point—and I just kind of jotted it down quickly—you talked about the workplace being one area where bereavement is less recognized. That hits with me, because many years ago, I had a friend who went through the same kind of thing. One of the quotes you had was about somebody who suffered the loss in January, and then in March they were let go because they were told they lacked passion. That hits home with me because I had a friend who went through the very same thing.
What can we do as a federal government to improve that situation for people who have to go back to the workplace and who really suffer in silence that way? It's a wide-ranging question.
We always hear, as federal politicians, that you can only do so much, because maybe it's more provincial jurisdiction. Is it more funding for the province? Is there direct support we can give to organizations, maybe some funding stream that we can provide federally for organizations to tap directly into the federal government?
It's an obvious problem. Again, your presentation was wonderful. There's so much here. How do you see us helping in that situation?
