Absolutely. We're all sympathetic to people who find themselves in these situations where they lose their jobs, they have a family member who becomes sick, or whatever it is. These are all extraordinarily difficult things for people. As a compassionate society, we want to make sure we have proper benefits in place to help them. The way this will work is that Parliament will decide what the programming will be through employment insurance and then it will be up to this board to ensure that premiums are adequate to pay for those benefits.
