I'd like to come back to the 360-hour threshold, because it's important, to my way of thinking.

Ms. Byers, how does the CLC feel about the Liberals' position that the 360-hour threshold should apply only for the duration of the economic crisis? It's not a matter of politics, because this issue is being debated publicly. I for one believe that when workers lose their job, they are left to deal with a year-round economic crisis. Does the CLC side with the Liberals on this issue?
