There are other situations, such as Employment Insurance sickness benefits. That is one example we gave. A bill drafted by the Bloc Québécois dealing with that is in the works. At the present time, someone who is sick with cancer, for instance, is only entitled to 15 weeks of EI benefits. We will be tackling that issue in another bill, because we believe that someone with no private insurance who must make up for lost income during illness is excessively penalized.
The bill we are proposing today focuses specifically on situations where workers are on strike or are locked out.
