As well, with this problem emerging in recent years, we have seen, as you say, more women giving up some of their paid work in order to be able to look after family members and others. This is not a new issue but it is relatively new. Perhaps the department that looks at pensions and at how women and men will fare in their later years has been doing studies on this emerging issue to make sure that the programs are adapted in order to not penalize them. But we have not done them.
