It's 3.1%.
We've had this discussion among the different panel members. This is what makes it so difficult. There are those who say, for instance, maybe in Mr. Keddy's neck of the woods, that they need these people in the fishing industry. Then there'll be those who say, “No, you have a high unemployment rate and you don't need them.” There are people in Mr. Reid's end of the world who say that they have to have these people. But it's 3%, which is virtually nothing, by the way. When economists talk about 3%, there is no unemployment. So there is a reason to have the program.
I don't want to get into too many technical explanations, but as far as evaluating and administrating the program go, when we have regions in our country that have virtually no labour pool, we have to administer it.
There are two things I wanted to say. First of all, we don't have Mr. Siourounis here to defend himself. The other thing is that we are investigating this.
I also want to thank you for coming out.
I just wanted to say that because I think we don't have the whole story.
Thank you.
Mr. Chair, how much time do I have left?
