Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to say that we have a resolution of yet another issue. At question, of course, was the eligibility of said workers under the EI rules. The appeal was launched to the Minister of National Revenue. The determination was that they are indeed EI eligible. My department will immediately implement the consequences of that. They are eligible and payments will begin immediately.
In the House of Commons on February 10th, 2004. See this statement in context.
