I'd just like to say that while maternity issues are important, and while there is a whole host of different ways for the labour market to respond, we are facing an economic meltdown. So the farmers' wives you're talking about who are going to look for jobs may be bumped out of their jobs very quickly without sufficient hours, and people who are losing their jobs are not going to find other jobs.
The only way we are going to prevent this meltdown from pulling businesses down further with it and entering this downward spiral of insufficient aggregate demand because people don't have incomes, and the only way we're going to prevent people from saying they can't sell at these prices, shutting down their shops, and saying they can't produce at these prices and having to stop, is if you maintain purchasing power.
That is a downward spiral that can be avoided if you maintain purchasing power. Open up the door to EI now for everybody, for every circumstance, so that you can maintain a certain level of purchasing power in the system. That is my only comment.
When Henry Ford wanted to expand his market, he raised the wages of his workers so that they would buy stuff and grow the market. We can't raise wages now, but we can certainly prevent economic free fall in households.
