I thank the member for her question. The measure she refers to was part of the first Women's Economic Security Statement, but there has been a second statement in the most recent budget. The purpose of both of those statements was to provide as much security as we possibly can through the various measures that were put in place through both of those packages. As to the measure which the member refers to, there is some draft legislation which has been issued. We've been consulting with various groups around the country on their views about that, and they've raised strong concerns about the nature of that measure. We're listening to those concerns, and that measure is now under review.
