Employment and Social Development Canada would like your input on the Employment Insurance (EI) Program.

Canadians and interested parties are invited to share their views on how to improve the EI Program to better meet the evolving needs and offer greater support to Canadian workers and their families via an online survey.

In Budget 2021, $5 million was committed to consult Canadians over the next two years to inform future, longer term reforms to the EI Program. The first round of consultations will focus on improving access to EI and centre on how to follow the temporary EI changes announced in Budget 2021. These changes are set to expire in September 2022, and the temporary COVID-related benefits introduced in September 2020 are set to expire in October.

The deadline to complete the survey is November 19, 2021.
