On the question of the EI, the 75 units, if I understand your question correctly, it's not re-entering the workforce that's the issue. Somebody's currently working and they've been paying into EI and then they get sick. Their episodes of illness are unpredictable. Some people, because of medications or the way their specific illness impacts them.... If they take their medication in the morning, they can work, but they can't start until noon. If they had the capacity to have disability or EI in the mornings, they could work afternoons, or they could take two days off a week if they were really sick, without necessarily having to break their attachment to the labour force. They could accumulate the equivalent of 75 days in a row. It's for people who are currently in the labour force who may have this sporadic capacity to work.
Other people may be able to predictably work half time. Because of extreme fatigue, they can only work half days, and they may be able to work over a longer period of time if they don't have to work full days. They can be completely productive during the time they are at work. So it really varies. We're not talking about returning to the workforce. We're talking mostly about people who are already in the workforce. Rather than having to leave completely and re-enter, this could enable them to stay attached to the workforce during these shorter episodes of disability.
