I did read up on the preventative withdrawal program. I very much liked how it even followed the woman back to work and protected her right to breastfeed. I thought it was a very thorough and thoughtful program. I would be back to work today if I had been a recipient of preventative withdrawal and a resident of Quebec. That certainly would have allowed me to stay in my apartment and the flexibility to go back to work a bit slower than all of a sudden. Ten-hour workdays with a seven-month-old in care are pretty difficult to manage.
Also, 90% of your pay is pretty remarkable. I believe Anna mentioned that 55% of your pay isn't very much to work with, especially for single-income families. And that's true. I was all by myself. I've been talking to a lot of charity organizations and people who help with poverty. I'm being told, oh, maybe if you cut down on drinking soda we can help you with your budget. I don't drink soda. I am so bare bones with my budget there is no place to cut from. That can't be the solution; it's just not enough money.
Sorry, I'm rambling.
