I've received a lot of calls from people and business owners. In some cases, it is Niagara food businesses, and in other cases, it is about tourism related to the seasonal side. One of the e-mails I received was from someone who operates a very large tourist business, who said:
We are quite concerned about the changes to the EI system.... It really does have some potentially damaging elements to it. Given the seasonality of the tourism industry we have quite a large number of staff that we will most likely lose from year to year as a result of these changes. The time, distraction, training costs and loss of experience will be extremely difficult.
