I know my colleague will recognize that over that period of time, from 1993 on, the unemployment rate came down from 12.5% to 6.5%, so there were fewer people pulling out of the EI fund and more people paying in. I know you'll recognize that.

Let me ask you something. I appreciate that we represent very similar types of ridings. How are the older workers retraining programs being received in your communities by the workers?
