Thank you.
Mr. Matthews, thank you for being here.
I would like to ask you some other questions on the insurance public service employees can obtain. You said that they could apply for employment insurance first of all. If I remember correctly, this involves short-term and long-term insurance. Normally, these programs are negotiated when people get insurance.
If I understood what you said properly, you would be negotiating long-term insurance. Consequently, the employees will have to turn the employment insurance for a certain number of weeks, and that corresponds to 55% of their salary. Then they will receive long-term benefits.
People are fully insured by the insurance company as soon as they are entitled to benefits. What is the amount of those benefits as compared to current employment insurance benefits?
