Thank you.
I'd also like to thank you for your presentations today. As a young woman representing one of the largest rural ridings in Canada, I am aware that the issues you have brought up are a very direct reflection of the challenges that young women face particularly. I realize that one of those major challenges, which obviously ties into accessing EI benefits but certainly is in terms of broader well-being, involves issues around child care, whether you're a worker in child care or a mother needing to access child care.
I want to ask BPW Canada--I must note that I'm a proud member of the Thompson chapter of BPW Canada--given that child care is a priority, what kind of work are you doing in this area, and what are you hoping to achieve? Also, what do you feel is the expected impact of such actions in child care? How are they related to women being able to access EI, whether it's a woman working in that area or, again, certainly a mother seeking employment in a time such as this right now?
