Yes, I think you're right about that, but it also needs input from those who will not qualify to be inside the zone.
I thank you for that answer, but it does generate some concerns that I hope will be addressed.
The second question I have is to Mr. Benham, and that has to do with employment insurance reform. Obviously your second recommendation was part of the Liberal Party's presentation over the course of the summer. The government spent literally hundreds of thousands of dollars on a misinformation campaign, including saying that it was a $4 billion program rather than a $1 billion program and that these various zones were perfectly fine.
In Ottawa, if you are a waiter in the Parliamentary Restaurant and you're laid off during the summer, which most of them are, and you happen to live in Ottawa, you don't qualify for EI, but if you live in Gatineau, you do qualify. This is exactly the same person, exactly the same job. There's this whole huge distortion.
I'd be interested in your comments about the way in which the system currently works, particularly in Manitoba, where I'm assuming there is an overlay of a variety of zones that gives ridiculous distortions to various employee groups.
