I'm not here representing the government; I'm here representing my bill. What I can tell you is that my interpretation of the budget document yesterday is that the government is proposing to make some serious changes by adding flexibility that currently doesn't exist. The flexibility is only eight weeks; now they are proposing 12 weeks. In terms of this bill, that's a big win. It really is, because it's a step in the right direction. The second part is the strategy, which will go to address a lot of the other questions you had about whether there should be more time before for women in these hazardous positions. The strategy, which is the most important part, will go to address that.
