I can answer your first question about measures aimed at long-tenured workers. We have basically done two things. When we analyzed the impact of the economic slowdown, it was clear to us that there was one category of workers who had lost their jobs and needed a considerable amount of training. That is also something we realized through our discussions with the provinces and territories. Before the budget was tabled, there were consultations held at a Ministers' forum on the labour market. During those discussions, it became clear that this type of worker needs help. After an individual has worked in the same industry for many years, he requires a highly intensive period of training. That is why we determined that, in order to be eligible for the program, a worker would have to have contributed to EI for seven years and have received benefits for no more than 35 weeks in a five-year period. Those are the two eligibility criteria for the program.
As I mentioned in my opening comments, we are currently sending letters to about 150,000 individuals who are potentially eligible for this program, which allows people to receive benefits for no more than two years. It is a very significant investment in their training. That is why we decided to target that particular category of workers.
