Employment Insurance EI: Canadians

EI Dept: NDP MP Guy Caron said it s impossible for parliamentarians to assess the impact of the legislation on Canadians without information such as how changes to Employment Insurance EI rules will work, according to The Star. You re asking us to vote on a critical aspect of a bill regarding what entitles a person to EI benefits but we don t know how you define suitable employment, Caron said Tuesday at the Commons finance committee and oTTAWA Opposition MPs seized on the lack of details in the federal budget to accuse Finance Minister Jim Flaherty of being out of touch with problems facing Canadians. The government has said Bill C-38 will open the way for new regulations that will broaden the definition of what would be suitable work for someone looking for a job while collecting EI benefits. But details have not been made public. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
