Some serious soul-searching has to be done on unemployment insurance, and the program must be reviewed. During the pandemic, employment insurance was a critical support and wealth redistribution tool. I'm not judging it, but now we need to reframe employment insurance to a certain degree. I think we have a say in this because it's funded by workers and employers.
If the decision is made that it's a bigger redistribution and support plan, that's all well and good, but we'll have to see how the government participates in it. The employment insurance fund isn't a captivating topic, but since we have an actuarial deficit of $34 billion, it's important that we address the problem so the plan survives in good health.
