(Received for Information) "'" Council Minutes - 5 - June 14,1999 \.. COMMUNICATIONS 1-5 Alex Shepherd, M.P., Durham with respect to a resolution passed by the Municipality ofClarington concerning the Employment Insurance Act and benefits being received by those not working. He advises that this is part of a campaign being conducted by the Canadian Labour Congress and that the figures are misleading; these figures include those who are not normally covered and do not contribute to the system. The congress' unemployed figures include self-employed individuals who do not pay premiums, and thus would not be eligible to collect benefits in any case. The Employment Insurance Act has been amended and many part-time and seasonal workers who were eligible before, are finding difficulty now qualifying. The reasoning behind some ofthis was that the system had become an income support system and subject to abuse. The Act currently encourages workers to attain maximum number of hours of work and thus workers would want to seek additional hours of employment. This was not true of the previous system. He further advises that by switching from weeks to hours we recognized the importance of workers who may, in fact, have more than one job. This has helped, especially female workers, attain coverage. In short, no review of the current system is necessary and furthermore, the representations made are not entirely accurate.

The rabies research unit of the Ministry will be live-trapping, vaccinating and releasing racoons in the Niagara River and St. Lawrence River areas from June 14 to October 30, 1999.
