Dear Minister:

We are pleased to present the 2012/13 Employment Insurance Monitoring and Assessment Report, the seventeenth in a series of annual reports submitted by the Canada Employment Insurance Commission, under section 3 of the Employment Insurance Act.

This report, which covers the period from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013, analyzes the overall effectiveness of EI income benefits, active measures and service delivery. In particular, the report focuses on the responsiveness of the EI program in a period of moderate economic growth.

As in previous years, we relied on key studies and evaluations to complement EI administrative data and to provide a deeper analysis. Information on each of the studies referenced in the report is included in an annex.

In closing, we would like to express our appreciation to Employment and Social Development Canada and Service Canada employees for their support in preparing this report.

We trust you will find the report informative.

The original version was signed by:

Ian Shugart

Chairperson

Judith Andrew

Commissioner for Employers

Mary-Lou Donnelly

Commissioner for Workers
