Under Liberal governments, an EI premium exemption was provided to firms that
actually hired new employees, and today, Liberals are proposing a benefit for every newly -
hired worker in 2015 - 2016.
Outplacement firms are
hired by some companies doing lay - offs; they ostensibly help laid - off
workers find
new work, by helping with resumes and cover letters, coaching, etc.) In other words, they don't measure whether or not they're
actually meeting their most basic goal.
