Mr. Speaker, it is just not credible. The government talks about an economic recovery, but it has no plan to end the jobs crisis. That is not a recovery. We still have hundreds of thousands more unemployed than before the recession, a recession the government did not even see coming.
Today, we learned that only 42% of the unemployed can access employment insurance, the insurance they paid into.
Why is the government continuing to make working families pay for its failure to create jobs?
