I think if you go on EI on a habitual basis that the government should be allowed to put you to work for two or three hours a day doing the really unpleasant jobs that no one wants to do.
Say scrubbing camp toilets in banff, doing anal inspections of cows, being underarm sniffers in government labs, corpse collection at forensic farms rubing old lady bunions at government retirement homes. As long as they do these jobs they can collect EI for the rest of their period of unemployment, but they get no sick leave, and if they don't show up for work their EI is cut off.
Its win win. The government finds someone to do really terrible jobs. The receipiant becomes really motivated to find another job.
