I have a couple of comments. Firstly, the study was not done in 1996. That's when the unemployment insurance was overhauled and the changes were made and the new act was introduced. Within the act it said there would have to be an analysis five years later, I think it was, to see how it was working and which groups it was affecting most, negatively or not, how it affected people differently.
There was, in fact, a study. I think there has been more than one, actually, from HRDC, but I think it was 2000, 2001, so it was not that long ago. And it showed some of the things we've discussed.
In our study on the women's economic security, Madam Chair, of course we will be dealing with this issue very directly, and there's no question that Madam Smith is right about that. However, as with the report on trafficking, we did put forward a motion that pre-empted the report that Madam Smith put forward, so this really follows in the same steps. If we don't want to go down that road, then we shouldn't start. So I'm quite happy to accommodate Madam Mathyssen, since this will.... We will deal with it more fulsomely as we do the study, but nonetheless I don't have a problem with this, since we've done it before.
