I recall the meeting to order.
We are meeting on our study of the review of the employment insurance program.
I would like to make just a few comments for the benefit of the witnesses.
Before speaking, you need to click on your microphone icon to activate your mike. Interpretation in this video conference will be like a regular committee meeting. You have the choice on the bottom of your screen of floor, English or French. When you are speaking, please speak slowly and clearly, and when you're not speaking, please put your mike on mute.
I'd now like to welcome our witnesses to continue our discussion. You will each have five minutes for your opening remarks, and that will be followed by rounds of questions.
We have with us today Miles Corak, professor of economics, graduate center, City University of New York; and from the C.D. Howe Institute, Parisa Mahboubi, senior policy analyst. We're going to start with Mr. Corak, please, for five minutes.
Welcome to the committee. You have the floor.
