Thank you, Mr. Giroux. I'm just looking over your recent report on the monthly breakdowns of the 699 leave. I understand that this is a huge program spend in a very unprecedented situation, but being in digital affairs, two of the justifications for 699 really jumped out at me: “technology” and “work limitation”.
Looking at it, obviously May was the high period for 699. It went down until August, which is when you finished reporting, but it appears that the proportion of technological and work limitation justifications has remained pretty consistent. The government has told us that every single civil servant has been able to be up and running remotely on a computer as of May, which I was told by the minister of digital affairs.
Why is it that we are still seeing such a large number of people having problems with technology and using 699 for this case?
