One of the changes was the increase from 50% to 55% of the benefit rate, and another one was the abolition of the clawback clause, which meant that, after five years people were no longer entitled to employment insurance. It was limited to 30% and the amount was raised from $39,000 to $48,000.
Parmi les changements, on demandait de hausser les prestations de 50 p. 100 à 55 p. 100, d'enlever ce qu'on appelle le «claw back», c'est-à-dire qu'après cinq ans, les gens n'avaient plus le droit à l'assurance-emploi; ils l'ont limité à 30 p. 100, et ils ont augmenté le montant de 39 000 $ à 48 000 $.
