2. EMPLOYMENT INSURANCE REFORM
Proposed by the CFUW Legislation Committee

RESOLVED, That the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) urge the Government of Canada to reform the unemployment benefit program, currently called Employment Insurance, to:

1.  make it responsive to changing employment realities, including but not restricted to:

a.  reducing the waiting period,
b.  expanding the eligibility criteria,
c.  allowing part-time and contract workers access to unemployment benefits,
d.  allowing self-employed to “opt-in” to the unemployment benefit programme; and 

2.  conduct ongoing and thorough gender based analyses with a view to correcting gender disparities in the current program.
