Dr. Nata Duvvury:

I would just add that ten days is in fact becoming an international norm, and I repeat that. The Department said that it is five days in other jurisdictions. Australia was the one that had five days, which were unpaid at first. It has now amended its legislation to ten days. Canada and New Zealand have ten days. The Philippines, which was the first country in the world in to do this in 2004, had ten days. This is the norm. Italy has three months. That is where ambition could go. I contest five days as being the norm. If the committee would like me to bring more evidence about the ten days as a basic norm, I would be happy to do that.
