Thank you for sharing that.
That takes me to a couple of comments I heard from you, Nora, and I will ask you a question related to them.
You mentioned that this happens to 1,600 families every year. That means that over the last 10 years since we've been fighting for this, there have been 16,000 more families who have experienced it. That's why I spoke earlier to the importance of this getting done. We can't have this stalled again.
You also made the comment that some people, just by circumstance, are able to get the EI benefits as they exist now. That was one of the things I was alluding to earlier, when I talked about the roadblocks that were put up. Excuses were made at the time, and one of those excuses was that families can get this through what's there now. Sometimes there are families that are able to get it, but there are lots of families that aren't, and that's what I think you were referring to when you said it shouldn't be about luck. I want to give you a chance to speak to that and how important it is that there aren't excuses, or that this might work. We need to have something very clear, which I think this is.
I want to give you a chance to speak to the importance of that and not having more families go through the experiences that Carmen, Sarah, Lee, Nancy or Peter have gone through.
