We certainly saw a lot of outward migration out west prior to the oil drop. Then, of course, all these workers came back with fewer EI benefits than their counterparts who they were working with in Alberta, because they got the five-week extension and a bunch of other changes. Our workers came back with the reduced benefits. It's number one on that. We did see a lot of outward migration.
I think some of the industries in Prince Edward Island that rely on seasonal workers can attest to the fact that a lot of their long-term employees are not coming back, so it's causing them problems with training and costing them more money. We were seeing that too. I know, for example, that as CUPE we represent support workers, and we have depleted substitute lists. That is affecting the education system in the province. My question is, what have the EI changes in the last couple of years done to, say, a school bus driver who is just there as a substitute? They probably have chosen to do something different.
I'll tell you what hasn't changed since the changes in 2012: the unemployment rate in Canada and the unemployment rate in Prince Edward Island. It did nothing to help any of that.
