Thank you.
I will now move on to division 27 of part 5 of Bill C‑19, still on the Employment Insurance Act.
We are pleased to see that the government will support seasonal workers. However, once again, this is a renewal of a temporary measure to address a problem that requires a permanent solution. The government itself acknowledges this in its budget.
The Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion has been mandated to implement an EI reform plan by the summer, given that the temporary measures in the program end in the fall. So time is of the essence.
Mr. Pierre Céré, of the Conseil national des chômeurs et chômeuses, had this to say: "We were expecting a concrete announcement, but that is not the case. We ask the question: are we postponing a possible reform to the next budget, in 2023, or worse?“
What are your observations on this?
