I would just like to point out that Status of Women Canada has always been in favour of the idea of documenting unpaid work and has continuously recorded it. We recognize the importance of women's unpaid work and how valuable it is to the Canadian society as a whole. We strongly believe in the need to keep track of this work. These data allow us to understand the relationship between paid work and a wide range of other factors that have an impact on the participation and status of women in society, including their ability to do paid work, to get an education and so on.
