That's correct. The object of the pilot projects has been to determine which measures have had a greater impact on the incentive to work. Absent special rules in the program, when somebody earns a dollar, we would reduce their benefits by a dollar. These different measures have tested different ways to encourage work because now their benefits are only reduced by a portion of those earnings, and the person is then receiving a greater total income in employment earnings and their EI benefit than if they did not work during that week.
