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.
