Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for his continued and ongoing interest in this issue. Of course we have been looking at this problem. My officials have now begun a process whereby they will engage the employers with them and discuss the issue of overpayments.
As the member knows very well, the employment insurance department is a national program and what we need to do is maintain the integrity of that program in this process. I will be pleased to inform him and the House of the progress of such discussions as they proceed toward a resolution.
