My question is on a different tack altogether.
I was listening to your comments, Ms. Purdon, and you may be aware that this committee studied the whole issue of maternity benefits for self-employed women a couple of years ago. Quite clearly, that would have to be extended to rural women, not only self-employed women. So it simply got me thinking.
Ms. Gabriel, I was struck by your comment, and I would like a response. You said that even extremely well-educated women face racist barriers. Does it affect their economic well-being? It affects their personal well-being, clearly. Could you say a little more on that?
