Repeal the recent changes made to the Employment Insurance (EI) system that have been punitive to unemployed workers.

What success looks like

Repealed the 2012 changes to Employment Insurance (EI) so that unemployed Canadians have better benefits and more opportunities for good quality jobs.

Government's narrative on progress

In 2016, the government reversed Employment Insurance (EI) restrictions related to commute times and work type. Now, workers are no longer forced to accept lower-paying work that is far away from their homes. This change simplifies job search responsibilities, while maintaining the long-standing requirement to search for and accept available work.

Note: this is the government's own description, not an independent assessment.
