I would be happy to speak to it.
Before I get into certain sectors, maybe I should note again that this isn't a measure that's targeted for particular industry sectors or parts of the country. It is targeted at certain types of workers, but those workers are found across the country. In fact the distribution of long-tenured workers in our analysis roughly mirrors the distribution of the labour force as a whole. We find long-tenured workers showing up across the country in proportion to the distribution in the labour force, which I think is an important point.
Other parameters of the bill are certainly sensitive to the issues facing different industry sectors. When we established this 35-week limit on prior EI use, it did take into account the use of EI by certain sectors. I mentioned manufacturing, but it's important to note that included in manufacturing are parts of the forestry sector, any of the processing parts of forestry. Forest products are statistically part of the manufacturing sector.
If you look at patterns of EI use, a 35-week threshold does allow a high degree of access for sectors across the economy, including the forestry sector.
