As illustrates, there have been many more failures compared to success of the Employment Insurance program. It is very important to take these failures seriously and try to improve them, because this department is very helpful to many Canadian citizens. But it is useless if many Canadians do not know the many benefits of it to try and help them. Plus many restrictions are put into place to filter many citizens from receiving this benefit.
