It's hard for me to understand how we can pay into EI without receiving the protection we are paying for. I have seen workers who have accessed it by mistake and then gotten penalties for doing something they didn't know they didn't have a right to. I assume that if I pay into it, I have a right to have it and I'm entitled to it. I don't understand why we don't have access. I think that's something that needs to be reviewed.
