Our amendment is as follows: that Bill C-56, in clause 10, be amended by adding after line 3 on page 7 the following:
(2.1) For the purposes of this section, the system for reducing the premiums under Part VII.1 is as follows: A - (A x B) where A is the premium rate entitling an individual to all special benefits and B is the percentage equal to the ratio of the cost of the special benefits of the employment insurance system already offered under an agreement with a province to the cost of all special benefits.
Mr. Chair, basically, we want this to be related to the actual costs of the two benefits.
