Our position—and it's set out in the brief—is that the changes that should be made are to bring the employment insurance program in line with the one in Quebec. It makes no sense that citizens and workers in one province would have superior benefits to those in the rest of the country. That is our position. We propose that your committee should recommend that in studying Bill C-44, because that is not, in fact, what is being advanced in Bill C-44.
