Mr. Chairman, on the Liberals' motion, we strongly support what we have said. The 360-hour rule should stand, given the government's obligations towards workers. However, given the circumstances and given the fact that the Liberals are proposing an amendment that leads us to believe that they will vote with us, in order that we be able to at least improve a clause dealing with a measure that we feel is only a temporary solution to what needs to be fixed in the employment insurance regime, the Liberals' motion should be considered.
The motion applies and our distinguished colleague can enlighten me on that. The range of hours determining eligibility currently extends from 420 to 910, and this would reduce it by 70 hours at each stage. Four hundred and twenty hours would go down to 350 hours and new entrants would be at a 840 hours. We agree to this amendment on those conditions.
