Thus, all the workers who are in a precarious position, many women, are in this situation. At least, this is the case in my riding, I am sure that there are currently such people in every riding. In fact, there are about 1,300,000 unemployed people to whom nothing is being offered. They will end up as welfare recipients in the provinces.
A report just came out today that shows that many young people are in a precarious position after having gained little advantage from summer employment. All these people who are in precarious positions, those who are less privileged and even those workers who may have accumulated 40 weeks, as compared to those who have accumulated 30 weeks, do not meet the criteria.
Why did you not propose universal measures?
