Thanks, Mr. Long.

Thanks to both the witnesses.

Mr. Corak, maybe I'll start with you. I think you've said that a 21st-century employment insurance system should respond to big shocks in real time, and I know that you've said that EI eligibility rules respond with a significant lag when there are sharp changes in the unemployment rate. What do you propose in terms of changes to the EI system to make it more responsive in this manner?
