I wish to ask the same question. It is important to get this Bill through and we have been too long waiting for it, but I recall that when this committee last discussed the proposed domestic violence leave, which we are all glad to have, the departmental officials said it would be reviewed after two years. We should consider a period of ten days if possible. While I welcome a period of five days within a year, I am concerned that it is too little. Is there anything we can do? It is important that we get this Bill right.
