In the background, we talk about part 8 amending the Employment Insurance Act in order to reap, on a temporary basis, a portion of employer premiums. For those employers whose premiums are no more than $10,000 in 2010, the small employers would refund the difference between 2010 and 2011 premiums, so a maximum of $1,000. How was the choice of the maximum refund of the $1,000...? Also, how did it come to be set at $10,000 for the premium amount paid? What was the process?
On November 1st, 2011. See this statement in context.
