By unanimous consent, it was ordered, — That, notwithstanding any Standing Order or usual practice of the House, the question on the third reading motion of Bill C-56, An Act to amend the Employment Insurance Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts, be deemed put, a recorded division deemed requested, and the vote taken now;
that when the House adjourns today, it shall stand adjourned until Monday, January 25, 2010, provided that, for the purpose of Standing Order 28, it shall be deemed to have sat on Friday, December 11, 2009; and
that the House call upon the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development to ask the Employment Insurance Commission to include in its Monitoring and Assessment Report an additional section that would monitor and assess the new Employment Insurance Program for self-employed workers including a breakdown of data by province and that the House ask the Canada Employment Insurance Financing Board to consider the history of premiums and contributions in determining the rates of contribution if Quebec’s self-employed workers are making contributions that do not correspond to the true cost of the benefits offered to Quebec’s self-employed workers, and since the Fairness for the Self-Employed Act includes a five-year review of the new program, the policy direction should include a more detailed review from the Employment Insurance Commission in addition to the five-year legislative review.
