responsive to conditions To make your Unemployment Insurance Program more responsive to the special needs of different areas of Canada there are now economic regions for Up to now there were 16 regions With this UI benefits will more accurately reflect your local employment conditions Its all part of a plan announced over a year ago Each of these new regions will have its own unemployment rate This will set the length of time a claimant must have worked to become eligible for employment Insurance benefits And it will govern the length of benefits as Theres nothing new about the system itself its just being measured more finely in regions rather than 16 The length of time a claimant must work to get remains the same It vanes from 10 to 14 weeks depending on the unemployment rate where the claimant lives And regionally based benefits have the same maximum The change will only affect those whose UI claims start after November 12 This map and the information with it will show you the new economic boundaries in your area Clip the map and save it for reference if you like Note I changes to the Unemployment Program have been proposed by the Gotirnritciit I wilt come into
