You do list a lot of the various programs that are available. One of the ones that sticks out is that you talk about the employment insurance sickness benefit available to eligible claimants who are unable to work due to injury or illness. The benefit provides up to 15 weeks of partial income replacement to allow workers time to restore their health, so they can return to work.
As we know, the biggest thing about episodic diseases is the fact that it's never really restored. You are back and forth. That's the thing we certainly heard from witnesses in the previous panel. What in all of this that you're talking about would help somebody who has an episodic disease?
For instance, if they have to take the odd day off a couple times a month perhaps because of, I don't know, it could be migraines, it could be their complications with MS, etc., how would they access EI?
