also offensive enough by more people and is more economical in a time of restraint More Importantly if anyone really wants to Inquire Ihc personnel and ployed know thai claims and benefits have been tightened up considerably on the administrative side in recent years with the obvious object of coping effectively with the small percentage or our fellow citizens who would try to misuse this very social benefit Our Federal MPs should know that the legislation has also been lough ten considerably lately in the disqualification provisions the waiting period the user pay concept on premiums to relieve the tax burden the qualifying period and the duration of payment related to the qualifying period As well UIC is being reunited with Canada Man power to get people back to work rather than having them on he dole Too often a federal programme is confused with welfare a provincial In general the purpose of of ten misunderstood is to look after ihe genuinely unemployed with dignity not the
