While we appreciate and share their concerns about the shortcomings of this bill, we've impressed upon them, and we continue to impress upon them, that we need to get this bill passed, because it will help a great number of people. But we ask them, as we ask you, to not stop working to improve employment insurance and to put it back into the state it should be, which is to provide protection for all workers who are unemployed, regardless of how many hours they've worked, how long they've worked, and where they come from to do that.
We've had the same message for them as we've had for you and all parliamentarians, which is to pass this bill and do more for unemployed people. It's not their fault that they're unemployed, and they need help. I think you would agree with that.
