Referenced claims
001employment-insurance-federal-benefitsThe current federal benefits baseline includes broad Government of Canada benefit navigation, EI, CPP, OAS, child/family benefits, and GST/HST credit channels, while Alberta income support remains a separate provincial program.002employment-insurance-federal-benefitsThe strongest pro-independence case is conditional: Alberta could negotiate transitional service/payment continuity and enact successor income-security programs, but the source pack does not show that such agreements or replacements currently exist.003employment-insurance-federal-benefitsThe strongest anti-independence / pro-federation case is that continuity for EI and federal income benefits depends on binding agreements, statutory authority, funding, records, service capacity, payment systems, reconsideration/appeal rules, and public instructions.004employment-insurance-federal-benefitsAlberta's existing income-support program is evidence of provincial benefit administration, but it is not evidence that Alberta already replaces EI, CPP, OAS, child/family benefits, or federal tax-credit delivery.005employment-insurance-federal-benefitsA responsible continuity plan should publish a program-by-program table covering payment authority, eligibility and contribution records, applications, pending claims, reconsiderations and appeals, data sharing, funding, service channels, and fallback payments.
