I'm happy to answer. I don't have a statistic on that. The eligibility rules did not change significantly, going from CERB to the CRB. Of course, there are the three benefits: the CRB, the sickness benefit and the caregiver benefit.

Those rules changed. It was a slightly different program, but generally speaking, there was not a big change in eligibility.
