Let me add one point, just to remind members that part of the package of changes to the EI in the mid-1990s was to make workers ineligible for EI if they quit their jobs. In the system prior to that, workers who quit could qualify, but there was a penalty imposed.
Basically it means that any worker who is unemployed today and claims EI cannot have quit their job. You can debate all these studies from the late 1980s or early 1990s, which as I said before show very small impacts at worst, but it's not open to workers to game the system in that way at all. To claim a benefit, you have to have a record of employment from an employer showing that you were laid off from the job.
