Yes, and the hours requirements should also be reviewed. This is the big stumbling block. I know from personal experience. I'm a seasonal worker during the summer in a garden centre--I used to co-own a nursery and garden centre in England--and you can't work the number of hours in seasonal work, certainly in Ontario, that enable you to access EI. EI should be a much more universal system, so that when people are in need they are able to access those funds straight-away. Most of us live literally a hand-to-mouth existence, and no income equals no food.
