Traduction de «translation of avec parfois emploi » (Français → Anglais) :

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.

The thrust of our employment policies must be to increase participation in the employment market by the categories which have sometimes been squeezed out, e.g. women, ethnic minorities, older workers, young people and people with disabilities.

Older unemployed sometimes get more generous benefits and they are often not required to be available and looking for work.

Finally, tax systems are sometimes ill prepared to develop an efficient tax collection, while taxation on labour is relatively high; and (iii) informal economy and migration: while immigrants, either legal or illegal, increase the capital stock and, thus, the growth potential of these economies, they raise the problem of making work attractive for low-paid workers (legal immigration) and of transforming undeclared work into regular employment (illegal immigration).

For example, aid to maintain people in existing jobs is sometimes granted to companies in financial difficulty and it is therefore necessary to check that the aid does not harm rival firms.

It will help people who lose their jobs following restructuring due to globalisation to return to the labour market — and not, as is sometimes claimed in these parts, to keep ailing firms alive artificially.
