But as you do not have recourse from the House, then I will do it here. It is not acceptable to take liberties with people when they have no recourse. We have privilege, but it's not fair for you.
I wanted to say that to you, because you've come here again today—you're courageous—to share your information with us. I think the least we can do is not only listen but respect the time you've taken.
Having said that, I want to start with some questions. I have tons for everybody, but I know that I'm limited by the chair to seven minutes.
First of all to the P.E.I. group, your document is excellent and the recommendations you're making are excellent. You may have heard of or may have seen what we call “the pink book”. To some degree it is very much the same. Part of what we on this side are suggesting is that maybe parental leave should be taken out of the EI system and into something else, a bit as in the Quebec system, so that we can actually be much more flexible.
Is that something you would recommend?
