Mr. Speaker, the report of the Commission nationale d'examen sur l'assurance-emploi is clear.
The changes made to the program are not minor, as the minister claims, and the disastrous consequences of the reform have now been credibly documented by Quebec, not the minister.
The program no longer meets Quebeckers' needs and is hurting Quebec's economy.
The minister's responses show disrespect for all the stakeholders in all regions of Quebec who took the time to assess the actual impact of the reform.
Will the minister respond favourably to the report and enter into an administrative agreement with Quebec to give it responsibility for managing employment insurance, as Quebec has requested?
