Thank you for the question.
As I've alluded to in previous answers, the Employment Insurance Financing Board has been created as an arm's-length, independent crown corporation. Its mandate is to set premium rates such that the program breaks even over time. What it means is that, unlike in the past, any surpluses generated, because it has the rate set at a point where more money is coming in than is being paid out, will be set aside in a separate bank account and it will be there to be used for purposes of benefits under the program in the future.
