Thank you.
Women and young people were more particularly affected by the pandemic. That is what the figures show in terms of job losses. Currently, the eligibility requirement for employment insurance is based on the number of hours, and it varies. Let us not forget that this single criterion of 420 hours is a temporary measure. Usually, it varies from 420 hours to 700 hours depending on the region.
So what you are saying is that a man who works full time, 40 hours a week, will be eligible for benefits more quickly than a person who works 15 hours per week. Is that correct?
