39. Notes the growing number of petitions in the course of the legislative period and remains highly concerned that delays and response times are still too long throughout the registration phase and the admissibility phase in the process; calls for providing the Petitions Committee Secretariat with additional juridical experts and administrative support, to issue recommendations related to whether the petition lies within the competence of European law; considers that, in order to speed up the initial decisions on admissibility, the ...[+++]se recommendations, along with petition summaries, should be provided to Members only in English first and then need to be translated into all official languages only when being published; expects that the launch of the new petitions web-portal will diminish the number of questionable submissions which are occasionally registered as petitions;

However, since at the time of the split-up, the bank will have a lot of cash and be nearly exclusively financed by retail deposits allowing it to grow rapidly in the first years, it is fairer to use the ‘stabilized’ situation at the end of the restructuring period in order to assess the magnitude of the downsizing.

When it takes somewhere from 40 to 60 to 70 years to grow trees, as we said, it's not surprising that the early commitment period doesn't allow us to at least position trees and forest management as a very attractive option in that first commitment period.

This bill aims in particular to: reduce the qualifying period to a minimum of 360 hours regardless of the regional unemployment rate—this will eliminate the inequities between regions on the basis of their unemployment rates; increase the benefit period from 45 to 50 weeks—in this way, we will be able to limit the effects of the gap or black hole, which currently leaves the unemployed suffering for sometimes as long as 10 weeks; increase the rate of weekly benefits to 60% of insurable earnings rather than 55% as is currently the case—unstable jobs are generally the least well paid and these changes would provide claimants with a bare m ...[+++]inimum; eliminate the waiting period between the time when people lose their jobs and apply for benefits and the time when they receive their first cheques—workers should not be penalized for losing their jobs and their financial obligations continue, even if the money is late arriving; eliminate the distinction between a new entrant and a re-entrant to the labour force—this practice is totally discriminatory, especially against young people and women whose work situation is typically less stable; eliminate the presumption that persons related to each other do not deal with each other at arm’s length—it is not up to workers to prove their good faith when they lose their jobs, but it is up to the system to investigate if there is any doubt; increase the maximum yearly insurable earnings from $39,000 to $41,500 and introduce an indexing formula—the current contribution formula is actually a regressive tax that affects low-income earners the most. It is worth noting that the maximum was once $43,000; calculate benefits based on the 12 best weeks so as not to penalize seasonal workers who sometimes work small weeks; and finally, extend program coverage to the growing number of self-employed workers in the labour market who have no coverage should they become unemployed.
