Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here and for being patient with all the interpretation issues. I appreciate that.
I have a few questions for Mr. Gray.
Mr. Gray, I've been reading quite a bit of your research and it's excellent. I'd love to hear some of your thoughts on EI reform. In one article, you called for a new, voluntary EI program to bring self-employed and gig workers into the EI system. You mentioned that they should be voluntary and not required. Could you expand on why that is?
