That would be interesting. The reason I ask this is because I do not think anyone is unfamiliar with the current cost of living. These things almost ebb and flow. I refer to the situation where there may be a cap on the amount of money that a father, especially, can take home when on leave. When we talk about gender equality, we do not just talk about it from the perspective of women; we speak about gender equality in the round. In that context, are we denying fathers the opportunity to avail of this leave and of spending time with their children because of issues like the cost of living?
