I would like to share our experience with regard to the review that we have been requesting for many years of the live-in caregiver program. Last year we were finally brought here to Ottawa to talk about the issues concerning the program. That was January 2005. There have been some changes in the government, so we haven't heard anything when it comes to the changes, or even the result of the review of the program.
Meili, I know you're familiar with the case of Laila Elumbra in Quebec. She's a domestic worker who became unconscious for four months. She only needed two more months to complete her 24 months within a three-year period. Unfortunately, she got sick and became unconscious and was in a coma. She is still in Montreal. The community is helping in her recovery. She's able to walk a little bit and do some things. I think she may be able to go back to work, but because of this neurological problem it will not be very soon.
That's one of the things we have seen within this program. They're paying their own medicare, but they don't have any sick leave as live-in caregivers.
