OTTAWA â€"â€" With the Canadian taxpayers‘ share of unemployment insurance expenditures jumping by over 90 per cent last year, it is time {or a major overhaul of the program. Unemployment in that period has not gone up even oneâ€"eighth of that amount, nor has the cost of living. So what is the answer? A45 â€" THE LIBERAL. Wednesday. May 26. 1976 Benefits paid last year totalled $3.1 billion compared to $700 million in 1970, the year before the system was revised by the present ad- ministration. A 4V2 times rise in payout demands an ex- planation. Increasingly, it is apparent mistakes were made in the 1971 Unemployment Insur- ance Commission revisions. The system was made too liberal. It could be ripped off and that is what has hap- pened. Admitting mistakes Even the government is now admitting privately they have made mistakes which they hope to correct. In the meantime, U.I.C. expenditures in the first two months of 1976 were up 15 per cent over the same period in 1975. Recently, the Economic Council of‘ Canada's report “Jobs and People: has served as a damning indictment of the unemployment insurance program. _ TBis report documents that the structure of the By Sinclair Stevens MP York Simcoe unemployment insurance benefits coupled with the ease of entry into the program have combined to undermine the work ethic. While the average coverage lasts apâ€" proximately 15 weeks, the Recipients are remaining on the UIC roles for longer periods of time. \‘, COMPLETE o ‘ o EYEGLASS PRES f4: , ‘ fl 1 o cmmcr LENSI 9‘ m l).

Prefer to work Probably even more startling is the finding that the vast majority of Canadians prefer em- ployment to idleness, not 51223-5168 only as a means of at- taming financxal security, but also because they find work personally fulfilling. However, one out of three would accept unemployment insurance rather than work at minimum wage. Finally. one-half of all males and one~tenth of all females draw unem- ployment insurance benefits that exceed the minimum wage in their province.

This figure refers to the entire labor force (estimated at ap- proximately 10 million persons in any given month.) What this means in real terms is that the 1971 revisions to the unem- ployment insurance program have induced an additional 65 to 75 thousand Canadians to become unemployed who otherwise would have On Yonge Street just 10 short minutes above Steeles Avenue been contributing to the productivity of this Nation. Based on monthly job vacancy statistics, a large percentage of this number could have been easily absorbed in the labor market. Huge losses When the results of this relevation are applied to the Canadian economy, the results are quite remarkable. If the number of “in- duced unemployed" were gainfully employed, their contribution to the gross national expenditure, in the form of labor income, would amount to $678 million‘ AHKLA GB 40 C Makes outdoor cooking an absolute joy! $21 900 This superb Arkla Flavor Glam barbecue is custom-engineered with 345 sq. in. cooking area plus 100 sq‘ in. on all-purpose rack. 3-setting control knob keeps cooking tempera- ture where you want it‘ The 830 can swivel a mu circle on its post. away from the wind.

The saving on this would amount to approximately $310 million for the taxpayer. Our unemployment would drop by a tenth if the “induced unem- ployed" got jobs. With the prospect of less unemployment. a smaller UIC payout, and an increased national income. the present administration must move to correct the weaknesses within the UIC program.
