Dans le régime actuel, tous les prestataires sont assujettis à un taux de prestations de 57% applicable à la rémunération assurable moyenne. On propose l'adoption d'un double taux de prestations, mesure qui majorera à 60% de la rémunération assurable le taux de prestations des personnes qui ont le plus besoin d'aide. Le gouvernement réduira à 55 % le taux de prestations de tous les autres prestataires. 2, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9mun%C3%A9ration%20assurable%20moyenne

Cela signifie par exemple que, dans une région où la période fixe est de 20 semaines, quelqu'un qui travaille pendant seulement 16 semaines et gagne 750 $ par semaine aura une «rémunération assurable moyenne» de 600 $ (750 $ x 16 semaines divisé par 20, c.-à-d. la période de calcul de la rémunération moyenne de 20 semaines). 3, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9mun%C3%A9ration%20assurable%20moyenne
