What's so good about our system?" Canada has one of the most comprehensive UI programs in the western world. It has a relatively short entrance period and pays benefits longer. And almost all Canadians share in the cost and benefits of the program. By reducing the financial shock of people's movements from one job to another, unemployment insurance has helped to keep our workforce adaptable to today's rapidly changing social and economic conditions. "Sure. But what about the cost to Canadians?" Certainly, the dollar figures are high. This year's UI payout to Canadians will approach four billion dollars. But consider that figure in light of the ultimate benefits to the country. The UI program gives temporary financial aid to hundreds of thousands of Canadians while . they're between jobs. "Isn't UI really just another kind of welfare?" Far from it. Welfare money is paid only according to need. Unemployment insurance money is paid according to eligibility. It's like any other kind of insurance. If you've worked in insurable employment, and a situation arises which entitles you to make a claim, that claim will be settled as quickly and courteously as possible. "Well, what do you do about cheaters and abuse?" There are fewer cheaters and abusers than some would have you believe.

Remember, our job is to pay you all the benefits you are entitled to. `OK, what do you have to do while you're receiving benefits?" Your Unemployment Insurance office can ask you to carry out what we call a formal "Active Job Search". Your agent will want to know what you're doing to find suitable and gainful employment while you're getting your cheques. But no matter what happens, you should keep looking seriously for a new job and follow any instructions your UI office or Canada Manpower Centre gives you. Your right to conti- nuing benefits depends on it. If you'll do your job, we'll do ours. The Unemployment Insurance Commission and the Department of Manpower and immigration have become the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission. For a time, you'll still see our local offices identified as Unemplornent Insurance offices or Canada Manpower Centres. When they're together in one location, they'll be called Canada Employment Centres.
