Could Employment Insurance be an important link in enabling people who lose their jobs to improve their education? This program comes under federal jurisdiction, and the government could do the same thing as Finland and Sweden do. In those countries, someone who loses his job and doesn't know how to express himself, read or write, well enough, is offered a course lasting one or one and a half years. Employment Insurance should do the same thing and not just offer two- or three-week courses.
