Under employment insurance, I think there's some flexibility as to how the parents decide to share the benefits between them. I am wondering whether there are any additional changes to the parental benefit system within EI that you would recommend that would encourage a more equal distribution of parental leave. I think there is some flexibility, but I think the actual practice is that it's certainly not a fifty-fifty proposition.
