I think people are judging pretty quickly here when the intent of what the government is doing is to define suitable jobs and define resonable effort to find work. Two things that have been a drag on EI for a long time.

I don't think that the expectation that a nurse needs to clean out a condom shredding machine at a water treatment plant. or a 98 pound computer programmer is going to need to go work at a construction site working a jack hammer.

I think that Flarehty probably mispoke a bit, but the opposition took that ball and ran.

However to me they do have to look at how reasonable is the persons effort to get off of EI and find a job, and is he refusing a job that might be a little junior or a bit outside of his normal zone of comfort because he wants a dream job?
