On today's agenda is Bill C-395, An Act to amend the Employment Insurance Act (labour dispute). I would like to welcome our fellow MPs, Mr. Guy André, the member for Berthier—Maskinongé, and Mr. Yvon Lévesque, the member for Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, who has asked to appear as the second witness. Is there any objection?
I see no objection, so please take your seat, Mr. Lévesque. Welcome to our Committee.
Mr. André, Mr. Lévesque, you have 10 minutes to make your opening presentation, and I think you are as familiar with the system as I am.
