Bill C-50 will not help everybody any more than the 14 best weeks did, we cannot kid ourselves. Three years ago, when the five-week extension was introduced, and pilot projects were set up, the Liberals were very satisfied. But pilot projects are sometimes only available in one area of the country and not others, and that is exactly what happened. The pilot projects on the five-week extension ran for three years. I would have thought that, after three years, the government would be in a position to determine whether workers need the five weeks or not.
When you look at the proposed changes, are you not concerned? We have proposals for pilot projects, even for temporary measures, rather than proposals for reforming the employment insurance system in a way that will help people who need it in the long term.
