Now, I have here a comment by our former Bank of Canada governor, David Dodge, who said, with respect to the two-week waiting period:
...there's a lot of churn in the labour market, just normal churn. ... That two weeks is there for a very good reason. ... Moreover, many of the people that are being laid off get some sort of bridge payment through that period. So that’s not where the real issue is. The real issue is that some of these people are going to be off work for a rather long period of time....
That's where the need is, and that's where it should be applied.
Do you disagree with him?
