Mr. Murphy, you have members in Atlantic Canada and in rural areas of Quebec. In some cases, the goals set by the company are not attainable because of the number of employees. If people have received these amounts, it is because they needed them. Sadly, this is reality.
These are often seasonal jobs. Are you able to tell your members that you will do anything necessary to make sure that their present employees will be able to work for the company the following year? Since this is meeting a need, why are these measures not offered to the general population in Canada? I'm talking about all those who are in need of this.
Mr. Murphy, I have always wondered who, among the persons who are present in this room, would derive any pleasure in thinking that he or she lacks two, four, five or six week of revenue to be able to make ends meet in his family budget. What is happening is not intended by people; it is the reality.
