We would agree with you that EI should be going to people who have contributed. The system is predicated on that. The problem here is that we need to take a broad brush approach to a whole set of laws, including labour standards, the Canada Labour Code, etc., and start to drill down into this problem of involuntary self-employment in which some of the larger employers offload their responsibilities for contributing to EI and CPP, as well as the problem of some employees not contributing to CPP.
