That rate was set arbitrarily on the basis of incomplete information.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"781395\" data-originallang=\"fr\">How can the minister let the agency take such inaccurate shortcuts when setting assessment rates, knowing full well that such methods produce imaginary rates that are completely out of touch with these workers' reality?</p>",
