Chretien/ Martin gutted EI in 1995 We were already behind the times. If Mark Carney doesn’t reform EI soon, we’ll be left in the dust www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...
Meanwhile, EI continues to operate on the outdated assumption that work is full-time, generally stable and long-term in nature, and that job searches should take weeks, not months or years. 

As a result, in 2024, only half of unemployed Canadians qualified for regular EI benefits. Statistics Canada’s own headline number for that year was 83 per cent, which paints a much rosier picture. But that more generous rate is calculated only among people who already paid into EI and who left a job for a reason the program accepts, which screens out more than a third of unemployed workers before the counting even starts.

At the same time, the youth eligibility rate fell nearly 15 points in just two years, and roughly a third of the claimants who did qualify for EI exhausted their benefits before finding another job.
