A little relief to people on E-I. A two-year, 74-million-dollar project will allow claimants to stay active in the labour market in their search for permanent employment. It will cut the current claw back rate in half for people who are collecting E-I but who have found temporary work. Oxford MP Dave MacKenzie says the claw back was seen as a disincentive to people on E-I to find work, even if it is only part-time. "We hear all the time that it's not worth my while to work because I get cut back so much with what I earn. This way, I think they will find there is good reasons why they should go out and work and seek employment and at the end of the day they have more money for themselves and their family." The project is billed as an attempt to drive overall economic growth by matching unemployed Canadians with employers trying to fill vacant jobs.
