With respect to employment insurance, if we believe what the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development said, the reform, or the changes she announced last Thursday, are intended to match the jobs available with the workers who are looking for jobs.
I am finding it very hard to imagine the situation. I see people who are unemployed and looking for a job who quite often find one. Other people are looking for jobs in their field but cannot find one, obviously. How does dividing the unemployed into three categories and forcing them to accept a job after 7 weeks or 18 weeks of benefits, for which they will earn up to 70% of their previous wages, that is, 30% less, help to match jobs with people who are jobless? I am trying to see how this might work, and I am not succeeding. Could you shed some light on this for me?
