Thank you.
Ms. Franz-Odendaal, you spoke to the challenges you faced as a mother while doing your post-doctoral work. I'm concerned that these issues are not limited to one sector only. Budget 2017 increased the amount of time that women can take parental leave, but stretched the existing benefits over a longer period.
Do you think that the federal government should do more to ensure that all women have access to maternal leave that provides sufficient benefits?
