Thank you, Chair.
It's good to have a chance to be back in this committee. It has been a number of years.
I have a question for you, Ms. Nord. How would you respond to the comment that the EI system is an integral and very important part of seasonal small business vis-à-vis how the seasonal small business depends on an adequate EI system to keep their trained workers available for the next period of work? Would you agree with that statement?
