Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I think this motion is very important because one of our roles, as members of the Committee on the Status of Women, is without any doubt to bring pressure so that the current government, regardless of which party forms it, without partisanship, eliminates all forms of discrimination against women.
This is one of the most distressing forms of discrimination, because, once again, it strikes the most disadvantaged women. Earlier we were talking about women heads of single-parent families. Most of the time, these are women suffering from employment insurance discrimination. Only 33 percent of women who have worked are entitled to employment insurance benefits.
So this is an important motion. We're not telling the government how to resolve the situation; we're telling it to look at the situation and to make the necessary changes. It isn't our role to tell the government how to solve the problem, but we're asking it at least to look at the program as a whole and to make the necessary changes so that the program is aimed at all women, not just a segment of the population.
