L'été dernier, le premier ministre de Colombie-Britannique, M. Campbell, a proposé de prolonger les prestations jusqu'à deux ans, alors que le premier ministre de la Saskatchewan, M. Wall, a lui aussi insisté sur le besoin de prolonger ces prestations.
Without significant extension of benefits, you can be sure that a huge proportion of the cost is going to fall on provincial shoulders. Last summer, British Columbia's Premier Campbell suggested extending benefits to two years, and Saskatchewan's Premier Wall also stressed the need for extended benefits.
