What do Employment Insurance changes mean for you?
The Canadian government has announced changes to the Employment Insurance program in the country. There will be new categories of claimants, and new expectations for the sort of work those on EI should be accepting. To explain, we spoke with Arthur Sweetman, a professor in the department of economics at McMaster University and an expert on Canada's E.I. system.

B.C. government says without more immigrants, business will leave the province
According to a report from B.C.'s Immigration Task Force, the province needs more immigrants immediately or businesses will be forced to shut down or leave the province. We spoke to John Yap, B.C.'s Minister of Multiculturalism and task force chair about why he thinks this is the case, and why immigration is the solution.
But for some recent immigrants, it's another story. Romana Pasca works as an employment counsellor at the Immigrant and Multicultural Services Society in Prince George trying to connect newcomers to Canada with meaningful work.
You can read the task force report on the B.C. government website.
