Thank you very much, Madam Chair.

Thank you for coming. This is very interesting.

I'd like to go back to something you said a couple of moments ago. So if we take men and women who pay into the EI system and compare the outcomes, they are relatively equal. Is that what you're telling us, that women collect EI at the same rate as men? Can you explain that a little more regarding men and women who are paying into EI and collecting benefits?
