The means are there, clearly. Where there is a will, there is a way. I was in a car accident a month ago. A week later, my car was fixed and running again; and it is just metal. But when someone loses their job, that person can no longer pay the rent, or feed their children, or purchase a bus ticket to go to an employment centre where he can look for work. Where there's a will, there's a way.
I have been with the Mouvement action-chômage de Montréal for 25 years. I know that over all of those years, this has never been a priority. If a government really wants to see to it that people receive their benefit cheque within a reasonable period, that can be done very quickly.
