Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present. The first is from constituents in the Fraser Valley.
The petitioners say there is a number of severe, potentially life threatening conditions that do not qualify for disability programs because they are not necessarily permanent.
Residents find themselves losing their homes and livelihoods while trying to fight these severe medical conditions.
The petitioners are calling upon the House of Commons to enact legislation to provide additional medical EI benefits equal to maternity EI benefits.
