Mr. Speaker, I am pleased that the hon. member for Québec is again providing me with an opportunity to make it clear to the House that women wishing to return to the workforce may indeed do so, unlike the situation under the old act and the old program the Bloc Quebecois wants to bring back, when they did not have access to active employment measures if out of the workforce for more than two years.
We have extended this period to five years. Now, a woman can have access to active measures for returning to the labour market after being out of the workforce for up to five years. This is the reform to which the hon. member for Québec objects.
