I have to press the matter. We have a financial problem here. The fund is intended for unemployed workers. And here it is being used for anything and everything.
Cuts were made at Service Canada. Generally speaking, staff are already struggling to process EI claims. Adding some 6,000 claims by parents with critically ill children to the yearly pile will only make the situation worse. If you break it down daily, it comes out to 15 to 20 additional cases a day. Staff will have heavier workloads.
How many people do you intend to hire at Service Canada to deal with these special cases?
