Down in Ottawa, the concept of EI reform is heating up.
One reform I would like to see is allowing people to opt out of EI coverage and self insure. As both a farmer and a self employed business person, I strongly object to paying into that fund when it does not provide any insurance coverage to me at all.
A really good reform of Employment Insurance would be to make it subject to the agreement of the individual worker that they want to participate in the program.
