Okay.
It's nice to see you again, and thank you for being here.
I've been contacted by ECEs, early childhood educators, in my riding that one of the issues they run into is that they are laid off because they are on contract and have to apply for EI over the summer. When women are pregnant and delivering during that period when they're not working, it creates challenges for market assessment and all kinds of things when they do in turn go on maternity leave. They face challenges because of the timing. A male who takes the paternity leave and is an ECE doesn't run into that.
I'm just wondering, if this bill were passed, if part of the review for a national strategy could also include looking at those unique situations and applying a gender lens to them. Men and women are being treated differently when they're early childhood educators. Are you familiar with that issue?
