Making notes:

Transition starting late September

13.1% to standardize access
- eligibility at 420 hours

Don’t have the hours for EI? Top up hours for those applying - credit 300 hours. Special benefits - credit 480.
Canada Recovery Benefit
400 per week
Caregiving - child or family member
500 per week
Sickness - isolation
500 per week
Minimum 400 per week EI benefit to match recovery benefit
Training for those with the recovery benefit (While I’ll put here as CRB)
Added 4 weeks to CERB to get to this transition.

freezing premiums at 2020 level - 1.58 for employees and 2.21 for employers per $100

Need to talk about tax incidence, but not today
Burden on the EI system? Can we handle it? Minister Qualtrough says it is

One year time frame - why only one year? I think big permanent changes need serious thought. Different from crisis times. Let’s review if we want to do this better
