Thank you. I quite agree. Barely four out of 10 workers who lose their jobs are covered by employment insurance, or EI, so it's safe to say that the system isn't accessible.
Something else really upsets me. The government is saying that, because the EI fund has to break even in seven years, it's going to take $17 billion in taxpayer money to cover the deficit it ran up during the pandemic. In contrast, the government was there for just about every sector and paid for everything else during the pandemic.
The chair seems to be growing impatient. How much time do I have left? Do I have 10 minutes?
