Thank you. I did miss a bit of the interpretation because this machine wasn't working very well.
As you're aware, back in the mid-1990s about 80% of unemployed Canadians were availing themselves of the EI fund. That's now under 40% in Canada; in my own province of Nova Scotia, it's less than 40%.
We need to ratchet that up. We need to have criteria that will allow people to be able to use that fund, because not only does the fund not access those numerous people out there, but those people also can't access training and they can't access a number of benefits that come through the EI fund.
I believe that this fund belongs to the workers.
