Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Ladies, thank you for your reports, which are very comprehensive and informative.

I will first turn to you, Ms. Boisjoly. You did a really good job of analyzing the impact of Bill C-21 on ESDC. You determined that you could potentially save $5.5 million. So you already have a good idea of the number of people who commit employment insurance fraud.

I assume that the amount was obtained based on a percentage of cases you know about and over which you have no control. Is that correct?
