This is from the published bill. The Library of Parliament often publishes better independent summaries.
This enactment removes the waiting period that precedes the commencement of benefits after an interruption of earnings and repeals provisions that refer to that waiting period.
All sorts of information on this bill is available at LEGISinfo, an excellent resource from the Library of Parliament. You can also read the full text of the bill.

moved for leave to introduce Bill C-367, An Act to amend the Employment Insurance Act (removal of waiting period).
Mr. Speaker, this is not the first time that I have introduced this bill. I hope that the House will vote in favour of the bill so that we can remove the two-week waiting period for payment of employment benefits.
