Yes, that's exactly right. It's a good example.
Section 12 of the Employment Insurance Act sets a limit of 50 weeks for the benefits that a person can receive when regular benefits and special benefits are combined.
We deal a lot with cases where women in Quebec receive benefits from the Québec Parental Insurance Plan. It very frequently happens that, during or at the end of a woman's maternity leave, she learns that her position has been eliminated. In theory, the employment insurance program should guarantee that the woman is eligible for protection, especially because she has paid into it. But that woman cannot receive benefits. She must therefore find a job during her maternity leave. I believe everyone would agree that requiring that a woman do that makes no sense, because she has to look after her baby. That, of course, is why the maternity leave exists.
That is why we consider it discriminatory. It is currently being challenged.
That example is the easiest to understand: when a woman on maternity leave learns that her job has been eliminated, she is not eligible for employment insurance benefits, even though she has paid into it.
