Finally, we must extend program coverage to self-employed workers, given that they currently represent 16% of the labour force.

This bill aims in particular to: reduce the qualifying period to a minimum of 360 hours regardless of the regional unemployment rate—this will eliminate the inequities between regions on the basis of their unemployment rates; increase the benefit period from 45 to 50 weeks—in this way, we will be able to limit the effects of the gap or black hole, which currently leaves the unemployed suffering for sometimes as long as 10 weeks; increase the rate of weekly benefits to 60% of insurable earnings rather than 55% as is currently the case—unstable jobs are generally the least well paid and these changes would provide claimants with a bare m ...[+++]inimum; eliminate the waiting period between the time when people lose their jobs and apply for benefits and the time when they receive their first cheques—workers should not be penalized for losing their jobs and their financial obligations continue, even if the money is late arriving; eliminate the distinction between a new entrant and a re-entrant to the labour force—this practice is totally discriminatory, especially against young people and women whose work situation is typically less stable; eliminate the presumption that persons related to each other do not deal with each other at arm’s length—it is not up to workers to prove their good faith when they lose their jobs, but it is up to the system to investigate if there is any doubt; increase the maximum yearly insurable earnings from $39,000 to $41,500 and introduce an indexing formula—the current contribution formula is actually a regressive tax that affects low-income earners the most. It is worth noting that the maximum was once $43,000; calculate benefits based on the 12 best weeks so as not to penalize seasonal workers who sometimes work small weeks; and finally, extend program coverage to the growing number of self-employed workers in the labour market who have no coverage should they become unemployed.

It follows the position defined by the Commission in its Communication of 10 October 2001 on ".the repercussions of the terrorist attacks in the United States on the air transport industry". and its previous decisions including, in particular, that a direct link exists between costs qualifying for compensation and closure of the airspace. The Commission considered that the events of 11 September in the United States and the subsequent withdrawal of certain war and allied perils insurance cover as well as losses due to airspace closure are to be qualified as exceptional occurrences in the meaning ...[+++]of Article 87.2b.

The amount must be net of any foreseeable tax charge at the moment of its calculation or be suitably adjusted in so far as such tax charges reduce the amount up to which these items may be applied to cover risks or losses.
