Mr. John McKeon:
We sent this information to the secretariat in advance. The cohort sustaining 13 weeks' employment was 17%, for 26 weeks it was 14%, for 39 weeks it was 12% and for 52 weeks it was 9%. Those figures are increasing because there are people who have not yet had the opportunity to get to 39 weeks, 52 weeks, or even to 13 weeks.
