Thanks, we appreciate it.

Ms. Frenette, thanks so much for your comments. I have three questions I'd like to get in, if I can.

Since 2010, ECBC has paid just shy of $250,000 for outside lawyers to pursue 14 appeals against employees under the compassionate disability benefit. ECBC has lost all 14 cases.

Will it be the responsibility of ACOA or of Public Works and Government Services to decide whether or not to continue to pursue this line of appeals? The compassionate disability benefit was a DEVCO program.

See context to find out what was said next.
