Yes. In fact, just last year we had consultations with women in precarious and seasonal work in our province. The number one issue they had was the employment insurance program. This is big, given that there are many problems with that program. The two-week waiting period contributes to your poverty for that period because you spend so much time trying to catch up afterwards. It's often six or eight weeks before you get a benefit cheque.
One of the solutions they came up with was to be allowed to serve the waiting period at the end of the benefit period, if the government is so concerned about serving a waiting period.
