I know I only have a minute left, but tell me if I'm right.
When SARS broke out in the Toronto region, people who qualified for employment insurance benefits didn't have to wait two weeks before getting a cheque. If it's good for some, why not for others?
People living in the Atlantic regions where there is a lot of seasonal work know that there will be job losses, but they don't know when exactly. It usually depends on the weather. So if it's good for the goose, why not for the gander? What's the good of having a principle if it is not applied evenly? If this was the case, it was because people realized there was a need. If there's a need, why not apply this principle to every region in Canada and not only to a particular group in a particular situation?
