I think that at the provincial level, if people are actually making a choice for work, there has to be more attention to some of the things that they're losing. If they are losing their drug card, there need to be programs out there so that they can get at least the equivalent coverage. If you have a medical condition or anything like that and you need medication, how can you be expected to take a job? Even at provincial level, right across the country it varies, but it doesn't usually equate to what they get when they're attached to a provincial system.
I think there's a lot of collaboration needed on that to make real incentives to go to work, because they're quite capable of going to work. In fact, just from personal experience, we know that the health care costs for women who go to work go down. Quite often you don't get data on that, because of privacy or because you're in a different department.
We know that women will come in if they're home and don't want to be home, but this is how they have to live. They're able to find a way to be productive in a different way. They're not going to the doctor anymore. They're not seeing the psychologist anymore. They're not on medication anymore. Those ripple effects are not even considered.
