If adopted, a single unemployment rate will be used to assess the claims of PEI residents, instead of the two distinct unemployment rates currently used for each of the economic regions.\n\nThe PBO estimates this measure will generate around $76.6 million in savings for the Federal government between 2021-22 and 2025-26.\n\nThe measure will affect both regular and fishing benefits for the residents of Prince Edward Island.","abstract_fr":"Le programme d\u2019assurance-emploi (AE) divise la province de l\u2019\u00cele-du-Prince-\u00c9douard en deux r\u00e9gions \u00e9conomiques, soit l\u2019agglom\u00e9ration de recensement (AR) de Charlottetown, et la r\u00e9gion de l\u2019\u00cele-du-Prince-\u00c9douard \u00e0 l\u2019exclusion de l\u2019AR de Charlottetown.\n\nLe projet de loi S-236 propose l\u2019\u00e9limination des r\u00e9gions \u00e9conomiques de l\u2019\u00cele-du-Prince-\u00c9douard pr\u00e9vues par le programme d\u2019assurance-emploi.
