Are there any questions?
I want to clarify for my own understanding here. I'm reading from the budget documents:
Economic Action Plan 2012 ensures stable, predictable EI premium rates by limiting premium rate increases to 5 cents each year until the EI Operating Account is in balance, and then moving to a seven-year break-even rate.
Madam LaRoche, Ms. Miller, can you explain why the government made these changes?
