Human Resources committee  Thank you for the question. I deal with employment insurance and I cannot comment on that, but I will forward your questions to my colleagues who handle those issues.

Human Resources committee  I will answer in English. The employment insurance program for EI part I benefits pays benefits directly to individuals. It does not pay them to organizations.
