Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My first question is for the Department of Finance officials.
I've heard fairly frequently from seasonal workers who are afraid they won't be able to access employment insurance or the CERB this year. Changes have been made, but these workers are wondering about next year. If their work season doesn't happen, if they aren't able to pay into employment insurance or if they don't get enough hours of work to receive employment insurance benefits, does that mean they'll have to get through the winter without any other income?
That raises an important question. I want to know if the Department of Finance has thought about it and if it will come up with a solution soon.
