In the documents we read we estimate that the cost of maternity and parental benefits will represent 75% of the overall amount. Do you believe that the proportion will be much higher than 75%? Is there any chance that parental benefits will amount to much more than 75% of the total cost, in light of the fact that this could interest a large number of self-employed workers?
Where employment insurance is concerned, there is always a percentage that goes to administration; it says here that it will be 8%. Actuarial figures tell us that for salaried workers 8% of the amount of the cost of the program goes to administering it. Is that percentage taken from the $1.73 for self-employed workers? That would take us to a figure of $1.59. And if 75% goes to parental leave, that takes us down to $1.19.
I did some ballpark calculations. In fact, I feel like I'm taking to you as you often talk to us when you answer us.
Did you withdraw all of these cost percentages from the $1.73 amount?
