I can answer just to say I'm not an expert on employment insurance.
I know there is a range of studies on what you asked about. I know that one of the studies on whether part-time women should get maternity and parental benefits was tabled with the committee in May or June.
Those are great questions. I'm not an expert on it, and it looks as if I don't have enough time to answer the questions, so maybe you'd want to follow up on them.
