I will pass your commendations on to the government for the work they did in terms of improving the economy in Atlantic Canada.

I would like to ask questions of my colleagues from the labour movement. Mr. Céré, you have given us a few numbers, and I wrote them down. I wanted to see if I understood them in terms of the cost of certain improvements to EI, and $220 million is your estimate of what it would cost to go to the best 12 weeks. Is that the number you've given me?
