Our Reaction to the New EI Board of Appeal to launch on April 1
The Government of Canada is following through on its commitment to improve the EI appeals process and make it more responsive to Canadians by launching the new EI Board of Appeal (EI BOA).

The launch of the Employment Insurance Board of Appeal marks an important step toward a more responsive and balanced EI system. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce welcomes the return to a tripartite model that brings employer and worker perspectives directly into decision-making. This approach will help ensure that appeals are not only fair and impartial but also grounded in the economic realities facing businesses and communities across Canada. We are particularly encouraged by the focus on regional representation and more timely decisions, which will provide greater certainty for employers and employees alike. As this new system is implemented, we look forward to continued collaboration between the government and the private sector to ensure it delivers a transparent, efficient and trusted appeals process that supports a strong labour market.
