EI Dept: The government has yet to release details about its plans for reforming EI, a policy area that federal leaders often shy away from in light of the political sensitivities around its highly regional nature, according to Globe and Mail. But the budget-implementation bill, C-38, as currently worded removes existing definitions of work that EI recipients can turn down as not suitable, either because it is not in their field, pays less or does not offer good working conditions. So I drove a taxi. You know, I refereed hockey. You do what you have to do to make a living. Immigration Minister Jason Kenney was the first to say the government planned to tackle EI, asking why fish plants in Prince Edward Island were bringing in temporary foreign workers in areas of high local unemployment.
