I understand Ms. Demers very well. There are advances in Quebec that are not found in other provinces. But I have to be honest and say that the idea of working on behalf of only one province makes me uncomfortable as a federal member of Parliament. I think that all women have the right to be treated the same. It may not happen in other provinces, but it may not be our job to study the issue. Employment insurance should be looking at what Quebec does compared to the other provinces. It is up to them to define precautionary cessation of work. We certainly have a role to play, but I think that the best place to send a motion like that is to employment insurance.
In any event, I feel uncomfortable voting. Though I am from Quebec and understand what goes on in Quebec very well, I find the idea of studying it here to be a little peculiar, given that we do not know what is going on in the other provinces. I think it would be more employment insurance's role to go and see people in other provinces. The idea would be to understand what happens in Quebec, where things have moved forward a great deal, and to use that as a way to change things.
