I got a sternly worded note from someone yesterday who must have heard me say something or read something about my position on the EI for PSE students program. That’s the program that allowed students who were eligible for EI to collect it while going to school and - crucially - not have to work while in school.
I completely agree, David. I have three teenagers, one who is in university. They all work and don’t get EI. I know children of university professors who have $80,000 RESPs who have been collecting that EI benefit. It’s not what EI was intended for.
