That is why we have already been bringing back recent retirees who are skilled at handling EI. We have extended our hours. We are adding automation to the system to make processing go faster. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1313144\" data-originallang=\"en\">We are processing up to 50% more claims now than we were a year ago. We are doing most of those, unfortunately not all, on time. We are getting better at it too.</p>",

C'est pourquoi nous avons d\u00e9j\u00e0 fait appel \u00e0 des employ\u00e9s ayant r\u00e9cemment pris leur retraite, qui connaissent bien le traitement des demandes de prestations. Nous avons prolong\u00e9 nos heures de travail. Nous automatisons le syst\u00e8me pour acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer le traitement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1313144\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le nombre de demandes que nous traitons est jusqu'\u00e0 50 p. 100 plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 qu'il y a un an. La plupart des demandes sont trait\u00e9es dans les d\u00e9lais. Ce n'est malheureusement pas le cas tout le temps, mais nous sommes en train d'am\u00e9liorer notre rendement.</p>"
