Thank you.
I would now like to ask Ms. Cousyn some questions. Your slant on employment insurance is really interesting. Clearly, employment insurance penalizes those that pay into it rather than supporting them. I think that what you have said here today only goes to confirm what we have been told in the past. What it is interesting is the fact that this remark was made by an employer to boot.
You said that we could use employment insurance as leverage to encourage people to turn up to work. So, in the case of a business that cannot pay its employees high wages, it can be added to their salary to make the package more competitive. You have some big businesses nearby.
Have you given any thought to the criteria one would need to meet in order to be eligible for this wage supplement? Would it be based on a business' revenue, on the profitability of the business? Have you thought about this?
