Very well. Thank you.

I have a question concerning the Employment Insurance Fund. As of March 31, 2009, the accumulated surplus of the Employment Insurance Fund will reach $57 billion, or an annual increase of over $200 million.

How will the Employment Insurance Fund be affected by the recession? What is the expected impact on employee and employer employment insurance contributions?
