Thank you, Mr. Savage.
Minister, I would like to ask you two quick questions.
Do you find it acceptable that people are currently required to wait 55 days before receiving their first employment insurance cheque? That's the reality, and a 55-day waiting period probably isn't the worst case. I know the specific case of a person who lost his apartment and is losing his car. He couldn't even buy groceries. Fifty-five days without receiving a cent: do you find that acceptable, yes or no?
