Thank you, Madam Chair.
I don't want to belabour it or go on at length. I think it would be an important issue for this committee to meet with the HUMA committee, which is doing the primary study of the benefits to the self-employed. As you are undoubtedly aware, it was this committee that did a quite comprehensive but incomplete study--because there was an election called--on benefits to the self-employed, focusing largely on maternity and paternity benefits. Given the history of this committee, it would be most appropriate. And I'm sure that the blues or the report, whatever members want, could be sent out to those members of the committee who weren't there. It certainly affects a disproportionate number of women compared to men.
So that's my recommendation.
