Okay. And I know from the chair that I need to be quick.
First off, I want to go back to a discrepancy in the stats. It's exactly what we talked about earlier, that we are not drilling down to find out why that's voluntary.
Now, I may voluntarily choose to work part-time because I don't have the child care to be able to do it. So if I've got a partner, it's a matter of working part-time because I know I can work that around my spouse's work schedule. And oftentimes it's the woman who's making that choice, because she doesn't make as much.
On the basis of contribution, we're saying that there are other societal elements that fit into this. The question of pay equity or pay inequity fits into this very clearly. But also it fits into it in terms of how women contribute if they're not working in full-time, full-year jobs.
So, yes, there are going to be discrepancies in terms of the level of income, but those are exacerbated by the kinds of jobs we don't always voluntarily choose to take, because we're into part-time jobs and we'd like to have a full-time job.
In terms of the increase to 50 weeks, we absolutely think that is important. We would say it should be increased generally, so people have that right across the country, because as Mr. Battle has pointed out, when you're unemployed, you're unemployed. There are other things that come into play there, as I said. But the reality is, if you can't get access, then you can't get the 50 weeks.
And the same thing goes for the training. Now, we believe in training. But I would also say that what people haven't talked about in this room is that there was a $55-billion surplus of money that people paid into unemployment insurance that they couldn't get benefits from, that they paid into, and they still can't get it.
