I just want to make a brief comment.

I completely agree with the proposal to offer a choice between the number of hours and the number of weeks worked in the past in order to determine eligibility for employment insurance.

The 1996 reform was a good one, but it was really designed to benefit seasonal workers, not part-time workers.
