Thank you, Mr. Corak. I want to make sure I understood what you said about EI special benefits
The system provides regular benefits and special benefits, which include maternity and sickness benefits. Where seasonal work and maternity leave are concerned, EI is tied not to the loss of work, but to a specific condition.
Are you suggesting splitting EI into separate programs, one to deal with the loss of work and another to deal with cases that do not involve the loss of work?
