Good afternoon. Thank you very much for being with us.
I salute the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, or CFIB. Before I became a member of Parliament, I had the opportunity to work with the CFIB, particularly in Quebec, with Martine Hébert, on the Commission des partenaires du marché du travail, a forum for social dialogue where labour issues and labour conditions were very important.
I've read your brief and your recommendations. The reason a committee was asked to reform the EI program is because we found that the current program didn't meet the needs. Because your businesses are important, the government had to put in place other measures as a result of the crisis. It's true that this crisis is exceptional, but without these measures, it would have been difficult, and you recognize that.
The goal of making EI more inclusive for workers is to ensure a better social safety net. In that sense, what measures could be taken to improve the program, in your experience?
