I think it's critical to attend to it as part of a gender budget analysis. As I said, I would love it if the committee could look at women in both of their main roles, as paid workers and as unpaid caregivers. They're usually doing both at some point in their lives.
I think if you took the approach of really looking at women as individuals, not as dependants or members of a household, you would get a lot further in terms of asking whether caregivers' interests are being advanced or are being protected. When we just look at the household, and whether the household is getting a tax cut, a lot is hidden in terms of the caregiver not necessarily benefiting. So it's really crucial to look at how we could deliver resources directly to caregivers--not through more dependency credits but through more direct programs. That would be my suggestion.
