It has a relatively short entrance period and pays benefits longer. And almost all Canadians share in the cost and benefits of the program._ ‘ By reducing the financial shock of people’s movements from one job to another, unemployment insurance has helped to keep our workforce adaptable to today‘s rapidly changing social and economic conditions. “Sure. But what about the cost to Canadians?” Certainly, the dollar figures are high. This year’s UI payout to Canadians will approach four billion dollars. But consider that figure in light of the ultimate benefits to the country. The UI program gives temporary financial aid to hundreds of thousands of Canadians while they’re between jobs: “Isn’t UI really just another kind of welfare?” Far from it. Welfare money is paid only according to need. Unemployment insurance money is paid according to eligibility. It’s like any other kind of insurance. If you’ve worked in insurable employment, and a situation arises which entitles you to make a claim, that claim will be settled as quickly and courteously as possible. “Well, what do you do about cheaters and abuse?” some would have you believe There are fewer cheaters and abusers than 250 G.

Evans told the committee the Lake Wilcox group was “willing to work with Councillor Burnie said he would not submit to blackmail. Outright criminal fraud is dealt with through conventional channels. Some people abuse the system without even knowing it. Here, and at times when the abuse is not really criminal in nature, we have our own staff to handle the problems. In any case, the vast majority of U1 claimants deal with us as fairly as we try to deal with them. “How about when I make a claim and you say “no”? If you have good reason to disagree with any decision a U1 agent makes on your claim, you have the right to appeal that decision to an independent and impartial board of referees, or then an Umpire of the Federal Court. You can go to the appeal hearing and be represented by anyone you wish. And if new information comes to light before or during the appeal, you can go back to your agent and ask for a review of the decision. And the whole appeal process is free.
