That's very clear.
I want to stay on the topic of EI, but I'm not sure whether my next question is directly tied to the changes proposed in Bill C‑47.
Last Wednesday, the spokesperson for the Conseil national des chômeurs et chômeuses met with senior Service Canada officials, including senior assistant deputy minister Tammy Bélanger. The department confirmed that, for privacy reasons, it would no longer provide information on the files of claimants represented by organizations assisting unemployed workers. That is an assault on the primary mission groups like these have taken on, which is to support and represent workers. What's more, it severely limits people's access to justice.
Does Bill C‑47 change things? The Privacy Act is not new legislation, so what is the reason behind the decision? On top of it, these claimants duly sign a form appointing their representative. Do you no longer recognize those consent forms? How do you explain the change?
