It would be to extend benefits for everyone who's unemployed, quite frankly. There is a fund there. This is the only time in Canada when someone would pay into insurance and then be denied a claim to collect the insurance they paid for. The money is there. Someone spent it, but if you can spend the surplus, then you should find the money when people are in need. The only change I have is that I'd like to see a better bill. But not passing this bill would just hurt more people. That's the only problem we're stuck with. We'd like to see a bill that decreases the hours, increases the duration, and increases the amount.
I'm like Rosalie. I couldn't live on $50 a day. I don't think you could and I don't think she can. People are being driven into poverty. And when this economic thing turns around, it's going to be that much bigger a struggle to get out of being in abject poverty, and that's a problem for all of us, not just the unemployed.
