Thank you very much.
Thank you to the presenters for your words this morning.
To Mr. Mendelsohn, the Mowat Centre has done a number of studies on employment insurance, and has done good work with it. One of the things that we face all the time in government, and that I'm sure industry faces, is the unequal distribution of employment across the country—or unemployment, if you will—in certain sectors and in certain areas. Ontario was certainly hard hit from the 2008 situation.
Before I get both groups to expand on that, Mr. Mendelsohn, you had to do your wrap-up pretty quickly. Perhaps you can just expound a little bit more on those four points: the easier use for the LMDAs; the labour-style transfers you were talking about; how you would use those updated numbers from 1996; and how, with regard to the provinces—obviously we try to work better with provinces every day, if we can—we ought to make sure these programs are being presented proportionately.
