On the question of the wage gap, we are doing a statistical study of women's wages in Quebec, from every possible angle. On the question of pay equity between men and women, unionization is really the determining factor. It is a constant. We ourselves take a particular interest in women at the bottom of the ladder, where the gap is huge. It is really a question of pay equity. At the bottom of the ladder, it is not the same jobs held at all, and that's why we are interested in directing women into non-traditional occupations. Those jobs truly offer more for women who have only a secondary school diploma or a college diploma. We have to get the people working on this issue together. Some people are working on it, but it is so scattered. We have to bring them together around the strategy, which is why funding is important. Thank you.
