Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Mr. Lessard, it is an honour for me to ask you questions on this bill today. My first question will be simple. I'd like to take this opportunity to clarify some comments we've been hearing over the last few weeks, or even months, before prorogation. We often hear this in the House during questions asked by our Conservative colleagues. They regularly say that a 360-hour qualifying period amounts to 52 weeks of employment insurance for recipients. I would like you to clarify this information.
