Vol. 144, No. 19 — May 8, 2010
EMPLOYMENT INSURANCE ACT
Notice requesting comments on amending the Employment Insurance Regulations
Notice is hereby given that the Canada Employment Insurance Commission (Commission) is contemplating amending the Employment Insurance Regulations (EIR) to facilitate access to employment insurance (EI) sickness benefits by allowing eligible workers whose immediate family member died as a direct result of a crime to collect EI sickness benefits for up to six weeks without requiring a medical certificate. This amendment is also being considered for eligible workers who are immediate family members of military personnel who die as a direct result of a service-related injury in a special duty area as designated by the Minister of National Defence. The Commission is soliciting written comments from all interested parties on the potential amendments.
Summary
The Commission is considering making amendments to the EIR that would facilitate access to employment insurance (EI) benefits by allowing eligible workers whose immediate family member died as a direct result of a crime and eligible workers who are immediate family members of military personnel who died as a direct result of a service-related injury in a special duty area as designated by the Minister of National Defence to collect EI sickness benefits for up to six weeks without requiring a medical certificate.
This Notice explains, in general terms, the amendments currently being considered by the Commission and requests input on those amendments.
Background
Employment insurance (EI) is a social insurance program. Employers and workers both pay premiums so that workers may collect benefits if they are unable to work, whether they are temporarily unemployed, sick, pregnant, caring for a newborn or adopted child or providing care or support to a gravely ill family member. Under the eligibility requirements for EI, workers receive EI benefits only if they have contributed to the program by paying premiums in the past year and if they meet qualifying and entitlement conditions.
Subject to meeting eligibility criteria, families of victims of crime and of military personnel are eligible for up to 15 weeks of EI sickness benefits if unable to work due to illness, including stress caused by the injury to or death of a loved one. Also, in limited circumstances, family members of a victim of crime or military personnel could also be eligible for up to 6 weeks of EI compassionate care benefits if the person who was victimized or the member who was injured is at risk of dying within 26 weeks. In order to collect these EI-based benefits, claimants are required to obtain a medical certificate.
The regulatory changes being contemplated would provide the immediate family members of victims of crime and of military personnel who die while on duty facilitated access to EI sickness benefits as described below.
Amendments being considered
The Commission is considering facilitating access to EI sickness benefits to eligible workers whose immediate family member died as a direct result of a crime to collect EI sickness benefits for up to six weeks without requiring a medical certificate. Consideration is also being given to extending this facilitated access to eligible workers who are immediate family members of military personnel who died as a direct result of a service-related injury in a special duty area as designed by the Minister of National Defence.
In order to facilitate access to these individuals, it is proposed to amend section 40 of the EIR to exclude the requirement of a medical certificate. Currently, subsection 40(1) of the EIR states that the information and evidence to be provided by a claimant, in order to prove inability to work because of illness, injury or quarantine is a medical certificate completed by a medical doctor attesting to the claimant’s inability to work and stating the probable duration of the illness, injury or quarantine.
Instead, where a claimant is unable to work due to illness caused by the death of an immediate family member who died as a direct result of a crime or who was a member of the Canadian Forces and died as a direct result of a service-related injury in a special duty area as designated by the Minister of National Defence, to prove illness for the first six weeks of sickness benefit, the claimant (immediate family members) would only need to provide the Commission with a declaration that he or she was unable to work as a result of illness which is a direct result of a crime or a service-related death. The declaration would be available at Service Canada centres or online and would need to be filled out with pertinent information by the claimant.
The purpose is to amend section 40 so that the requirements of subsection 40(1) do not apply to claimants who have either lost an immediate family member as a direct result of a crime or whose immediate family member was a member of the Canadian Forces and died as a direct result of a service-related injury. The facilitated process will only apply to sickness benefits claimed within the eight-week period following the week in which the death occurred. Placing a limit between the time of death and the availability of the facilitated process will ensure that families of victims of crime and Canadian Forces members who died as a direct result of a service-related injury in a special duty area as designated by the Minister of National Defence will use this measure when it is most needed.
Crime would be defined as an offence under the Criminal Code. These amendments would apply as long as it is probable from the circumstances that the death occurred during or as a direct result of a crime and that the service-related death occurred in a special duty area as designated by the Minister of National Defence.
Section 40 of the EIR would also need to be amended to define “immediate family member” for the purpose of this new provision. This new subsection would specify which individuals are to be considered members of the claimant’s immediate family and will therefore have facilitated access to EI sickness benefits. Consideration is being given to providing easier access to
— the father and mother of the deceased;
— the deceased’s spouse or common-law partner; and
— a child of the deceased.
If it is probable from the circumstances that the claimant or the person who died was party to the crime, these individuals would not be entitled to a facilitated access.
In order to be paid the balance of the EI sickness benefits that are available (nine weeks), the information and evidence that a claimant would need to provide in order to prove illness would be the medical certificate as currently required under subsection 40(1) of the EIR.
Coming into force
Consideration is being given to having any regulatory changes come into force the Sunday following the registration of the Regulations.

Notice is hereby given that, after completing its inquiry, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) made a determination (File No. PR-2009-077) on April 28, 2010, with respect to a complaint filed by Avalon Controls Ltd. (Avalon), of Mount Pearl, Newfoundland and Labrador, pursuant to subsection 30.11(1) of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal Act, R.S.C. 1985 (4th Supp.), c. 47, concerning a procurement (Solicitation No. F5561-092004/B) by the Department of Public Works and Government Services (PWGSC) on behalf of the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG).
