Yes, I think we could be using employment insurance in a much more creative way.
One of the things we've been talking to the provincial government in Ontario about, and the federal government, is work-sharing programs. So if someone is laid off but is only, say, doing three days of work, as opposed to five, those other two days could be invaluable training days. That could be supported through EI in a much more creative and flexible way than we're seeing right now. The EI surplus could be used in a much more creative way, perhaps, to provide longer-term support.
We have a program funded through EI, the second career strategy, which is also funded through the labour market agreement in Ontario. It's to give people training programs for a year to go into college or university programs to change careers. A lot of the people getting into those programs don't even have the basic and essential skills to participate at the college level, so there's a gap between our ability to even do that program.... We need something that is more flexible, that's more responsive. I think this government is trying in many ways to do that, but certainly there could be more.
