The plan is one of co-operation be- tween the employer, the employee, and the government. Each makes a contribution based on the weekly wages earned by the employee. To the amount contributed by the em- ployer and the amount deducted from the employee's wages, the gov- ernment adds one-fifth of the total, and pays for the cost of operation. These cottiributious are similar to lusurance premiums, and accumulate against the day when the worker, either male or female, becomes un- employed. Then, in a very short tithe the worker begins to receive weekly cheques which will continue for a limited period of unemployment. This, briefly, is the unemployment lusurance plan which becomes a law of Canada, just as it has been a law In Great Britain for more than thirty years. With the experience of the British act as well as the examples of other countries to draw upon, the unemployment insurance commission has created a phut which should operate with the least inconvenience to the employer and to the greatest possible befeflt to the workers, U.S.A.
