Thank you for that.

I have another question for you, Minister. Many workers and stakeholders are excited about our government's commitment to modernize employment insurance. However, some employers are concerned about the status of the EI account, the EI premiums and what those EI premiums might look like two years from now.

How are EI premiums in the EI account taken into consideration during our response to COVID-19?
