MP opposes one size fits all EI reform
Medicine Hat MP LaVar Payne rejects a universal 360 hour EI eligibility rule. He argues regional differences in development and job opportunities require a regional basis, warning a flat 360 hour standard would be costly and inadequate for Canada’s varied economies. He notes 50 EI categories exist and three category proposals may not suffice.
