I call the meeting back to order.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Wednesday, October 28, 2020, the committee will resume its study of the review of the employment insurance program.
I'd just like to make a few comments for the benefit of the witnesses. Before speaking, you can click on the microphone icon to activate your mike. Interpretation in this video conference will work very much like a regular committee meeting. You have the choice, at the bottom of your screen, of floor, English or French. When speaking, please speak slowly and clearly. When you're not speaking, your mike should be on mute.
I would now like to welcome our witnesses to continue our discussion with five minutes of opening remarks, followed by questions. We have with us today Dr. Evelyn Forget, professor at the University of Manitoba; and with the Canada Employment Insurance Commission, Pierre Laliberté, the commissioner for workers.
We're going to start with Dr. Forget for five minutes, please.
Welcome to the committee. You have the floor.
