The annual report on the EI program is presented to Parliament every year. Within the monitoring and assessment report on the EI program, we do report on the results of the pilot projects, dating back to 2005. This current pilot, pilot 20, was included in a suite of pilot projects that were evaluated recently. In the 2017 evaluation, the results from pilot projects 18 and 19, which also used the 50% rule, found that the probability of working while on claim rose by about 11%, and the number of weeks worked increased by about one week for claimants who were using the 50% rule.
