Self-employed workers will be able to access that information.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1731268\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We will also create a client fact sheet and brochure on paper and electronically, in which we are going to provide a high-level description of eligibility criteria for those EI special benefits. We will also include information to provide in different types of publicity so that people have access to the information. We also want to work with the Canada Revenue Agency to be able to send mailings to the self-employed workers so that they have access to the information.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1731269\" data-originallang=\"en\"> As you know, from an implementation standpoint, we will be registering the self-employed workers that voluntarily want to opt in. We will then collect the premiums through the Canada Revenue Agency. Because they have the information about the self-employed workers, we can provide the information via specific mailings.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1731270\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We will also provide self-employed workers with access to My Service Canada accounts so that they can have access to their own account when they have registered and have access to their own information in terms of receiving something or paying premiums. We are looking at a comprehensive package.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1731266\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vous remercie de votre question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1731267\" data-originallang=\"en\">En premier lieu, nous avons con\u00e7u une foire aux questions, c'est-\u00e0-dire une s\u00e9rie de questions et de r\u00e9ponses qui seront affich\u00e9es sur le site Internet. Les travailleurs ind\u00e9pendants y auront donc acc\u00e8s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1731268\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous allons \u00e9galement mettre \u00e0 la disposition des gens, tant sur papier que sur support \u00e9lectronique, une fiche de renseignements, o\u00f9 nous fournirons des renseignements tr\u00e8s pouss\u00e9s sur les crit\u00e8res d'admissibilit\u00e9 \u00e0 ces prestations sp\u00e9ciales d'assurance-emploi. Nous offrirons \u00e9galement des renseignements sous diverses formes de messages publicitaires afin que les gens soient mis au courant. Enfin, nous avons l'intention de collaborer avec l'Agence du revenu du Canada afin d'envoyer ces m\u00eames renseignements par la poste aux travailleurs autonomes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1731269\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous n'\u00eates pas sans savoir, pour ce qui est de la mise en oeuvre, que nous allons inscrire les travailleurs ind\u00e9pendants qui veulent adh\u00e9rer volontairement \u00e0 ce r\u00e9gime. Nous percevrons ensuite les cotisations par l'entremise de l'Agence du revenu du Canada. En effet, c'est cet organisme qui dispose des renseignements sur les travailleurs autonomes, et nous pourrons donc passer par son entremise pour renseigner les gens par la poste.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1731270\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous allons \u00e9galement donner aux travailleurs ind\u00e9pendants acc\u00e8s aux comptes de Service Canada afin qu'une fois inscrits, ils puissent acc\u00e9der \u00e0 leur propre dossier de renseignements au sujet tant de leurs prestations que de leurs cotisations \u00e0 payer. Nous envisageons donc un train de mesures complet.</p>"
