Thank you very much.

Part 18 of Bill C-13 amended the Employment Insurance Act to allow the Minister of Employment and Social Development, with the consent of the Minister of Finance, to make interim orders to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 until September 30. Through these orders, you are able to adapt existing provisions and add provisions for new benefits to the act.

What amendments have been made to date to the Employment Insurance Act to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19? How many Canadians have benefited?
