Has Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC) obtained the lawful authority?
Yes. A regulatory amendment — section 55.1 of the Employment Insurance Regulations — clarified that HRSDC has the lawful authority to obtain employee information from participants of the AERS and ROH programs. Employers participating in the AERS and ROH programs prior to the suspension will soon be contacted and advised when they can start sending their payroll or hiring data to HRSDC.
