Yes, that's a very important question. The federal government plays an important role in providing the funds and resources so that the EI system can actually include all the workers it needs to include. As a reminder, as my colleagues have also said, funding EI is an investment in the economy, not just in workers. Investing in EI, making sure that EI is there when we need it, helps to stabilize the economy. It's good for business, so that there is not a catastrophic drop in consumer demand as workers are without income supports and so forth.
We've been talking about expanding access so that it can be a genuine economic stabilizer, but I think that may seem daunting if we don't actually put all the funding streams back on the table. The federal government has always been a third partner. It should be stepping up. It has a role in determining how the economy unfolds as well. We all have a stake in it. Employers have a stake. Workers have a stake. The government has a stake. We should be funding the system so that it's there when all of us need it.
