Thank you for the question.
Concerning the employment insurance program, the bottom line is that a number of measures are in place to monitor the program's coverage. The Statistics Canada investigation on employment insurance coverage is important, as it helps see the evolution of the system over a long period.
Over the last 10-year period, eligibility for EI benefits has been relatively stable. It's about 84% right now, but we know there are significant differences between people who are in permanent employment versus people who are in temporary employment. It's much higher, at about 92%, for people in permanent employment, versus about 77% for people in temporary employment. Again, not having a specific measure for a definition of precarious employment, we're not able to provide a measure in terms of the eligibility for EI among workers in precarious employment.
