Thanks very much.
First, Ms. Ritchie, you spoke a little bit about EI, and how the benefits don't necessarily go to everyone who should be getting them, and cited independent contractors as one example. I completely agree, although conceptually I have a little difficulty deciding how the program should flow when the latter are not contributing to the program. I view it as the money of the workers who do contribute to it.
How can we ensure that these people are eligible for appropriate benefits without tapping into funds they didn't pay into?
