Your answer is insufficient. I am, however, certain that you are very much aware of the living conditions of women: you are women. I am convinced, sir, that it rubs off on you, as generally, women talk about it. You have to do more than try. You are holding, in your hands, the fate of caregivers, among others, in addition to the fate of other women.
How can you tell the minister that his policy will have a negative impact on the living conditions of women who are caregivers? How can you do that if you do not have help, if you have not done the analysis? It is not true that mostly men take care of people who are ill and of children. Women who do not work do not accumulate a pension. A woman who stays at home is prevented from accumulating more security for her retirement. Studies show this. So, how can you tell the minister to include six weeks for caregivers or a certain number of weeks for women who stay at home, when you know full well that you have not done any gender analysis and that, as a result, you have nothing to go on, first of all, and secondly, when you know full well that the woman will have less income than a man at retirement and that she will potentially live in poverty?
My tone of voice is firm. I do not want to quarrel with you, I am simply establishing the facts. Madam Deputy Minister, what authority do you have if gender analysis is not done?
