I'm speaking for myself now, because OCASI did not give me permission to do this. What I would like to see is criteria put in place such that after women have worked a certain number of days, hours, or weeks, they would have access to EI, to the employment system. I think I heard the previous speaker talk about an additional five days or something like that, which would allow women to have that access. That is one of the things.
There should be no barriers whatsoever given the fact that these women have contributed and also recognizing that they do have skills. They bring a lot of skills into this country, but those skills are not utilized, and they're taking whatever they can get in order to help themselves integrate into society.
Why do we put up these artificial barriers when their lives change? That's the very point when they really need some help. We want to see criteria that will allow them to have access to the system.
