I'm actually quite fascinated by these forums. I can't wait for them to be established across this country and then to have a federal one.
As you know, access to EI is at a historic low; less than four in 10 unemployed Canadians are eligible today. I can only imagine then how restrictive this is in terms of access to training. I know that, in one of your recommendations, you actually encourage expanding that access.
Can you comment on this restriction? What other consequences are there of such limited access, especially for Canadians who really want long-term employment opportunities and don't just want to be those repeat offenders who we've heard about? How could access be improved?
