Thank you so much, Chair.
My question is for Mr. Yussuff.
One of the recommendations is to raise the benefit level to a minimum of 60% and set a floor of $500 a week.
I've often argued that EI benefits are no longer livable. Why do you think this is necessary? I know you said 60%. In fact, Carl Pursey, who is the P.E.I. Federation of Labour president, even argued for 70%. Why is it critical that we raise these EI rates?
