Mr. Speaker, the minister is not going to get off that easily with this issue. Those statements will be questioned in the House.
The changes to section 19(3) of the act required that overpayment be calculated over an entire benefit period, not on a week by week basis as before, resulting in penalties that were too high, unfair and punitive.
Could the minister give me one good reason why Cher Kinamore who was overpaid $600 had to pay back $3,227 because of the legislation?
