Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Seale, on December 9, two cancer survivors, Ms. Dubé and Ms. Sansfaçon, joined us in challenging the government. We organized a meeting with the Prime Minister regarding employment insurance sickness benefits. This seems to me to be fundamental for anyone who wants the least financially stressful treatment possible. At the beginning of the discussions, we were talking about at least 26 weeks, but we were proposing 50 weeks because, after all, these people have paid into employment insurance.
I'd like to hear your perspective on that. I imagine that you would agree to increase the benefit period to 50 weeks?
