Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would like to mention this first.
Youth underemployment is a very real thing. In fact, one in three youth are underemployed in Canada today, which is a very high number.
Mr. Thivierge, I would like to thank you for your comments and recommendations. Your concerns resonate with people in my riding of Rivière-des-Mille-Îles. I know that you are part of the Quebec coalition against employment insurance reform. That reform has greatly affected rural areas.
Could you expand on how the reform shows a poor knowledge of the economic realities of rural areas? Have you felt the effects of this reform in Quebec's rural regions?
