Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
From what I've read, there are precedents for assisting workers in a crisis and for assisting workers, communities and industries. The idea is thus to restructure industries to make them greener. The idea is not to do one thing or the other.
Everyone knows that the employment insurance fund is no longer really used to assist workers. Many workers are excluded and are not eligible for benefits. My impression is that this motion restores the purpose for which the employment insurance fund was to be used when it was established.
Mr. Savage spoke of an amendment. I would like to listen to that amendment, but I think we have a responsibility to use that fund for the purposes for which it was established.
