Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will be sharing my time with Mr. Cannan, so at about three and a half minutes I'd like to be notified.
Thank you very much for appearing before the committee. I get the sense that this particular bill is very targeted and specific and has to do with those who have worked for a significant period of time, a substantial period of time, but for varying years, and who have not used the system to any great degree over those years. So there are two factors working there. When you're talking about someone in those varying years who has not used the system for more than 35 weeks, they would be entitled. In those 35 weeks you talked about a business potentially retooling and retrofitting. I take it then that those 35 weeks are a cumulative total that could be any number of periods of time, or episodes if you want to call it that, of unemployment during those particular years. Is that correct?
