What you're saying, then, is that the EI commission can come in and recommend a rate based on their study, their observations, and their predictions, and the minister can come in and impose a different rate. After the fact, the EI commission can publish a report on that and say what the impact was, but the rate will already have been adopted.
All we're asking is if the minister believes it is in the best interests of Canadians to make a change to the EI rate, that he at least, for goodness' sake, tell Canadians why he thinks that change is beneficial and why he wants to override the experts on the EI commission. He should have to say what the impact of that rate change would be. I think that's pretty fundamental.
Thank you.
