Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess I see the difference: In the area of common-law spouse, from the time they separate up to two years, these limitations would apply; however, in the case of married couples, not the separation but the divorce would apply. I guess my point here is if you were married, it seems to give you more time because sometimes divorce takes years and not right after the separation. Am I correct in that?
