I will now go to Ms. Alcade. You talked earlier about some of your recommendations, which I have read. This goes back to what we just said. I think that six of your twelve recommendations deal with provincial jurisdictions.
However, there is one that concerns the federal government, the one about employment insurance. You say employment insurance should be changed. I am in complete agreement on that, especially about the waiting period. In fact, I am the one that presented the bill.
Don't you think that the present employment insurance system is creating poverty and does not help people get out of the poverty circle? A waiting period of 15 days and only 43% are eligible. Employment insurance created poverty because people have no choice but to go on welfare.
