Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Quite likely unemployment benefits are at least part of the reason why the natural unemployment rate has been higher in Canada than in the United States. Canada has more generous and more widely available unemployment benefits than the does the United States. This difference gives workers in Canada the incentive to search longer for jobs, which raises the natural unemployment rate in Canada.
