Thanks to the witnesses for being here today.

Ms. Casey, a change in division 26 is the eligibility to qualify for EI. Previously, the requirement was that an individual had to have paid into the program for at least five of the last 10 years. It is being changed to only three of the last 10 years. Why does the department want to make a change to three years from five years?
