Yes, Madam Chair. Here is my motion:
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), that the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities study the procedures and practices for appealing the decision by the Employment Insurance Board of Referees, and that it report its findings and recommendations to the House.
If I may, Madam Chair, I will explain my motion. It relates to what happens when someone challenges a decision relating to the right of collecting benefits and that the person is successful at all stages. At the end of this process, everything starts again because they find another reason to do so. This creates totally unacceptable situations, verging on harassment in some cases, relating to the right of unemployed people to collect the benefits to which they are entitled. I do not believe it is generalized—it would be surprising, not to say tragic, if it were—but it has happened in some offices of Service Canada. It is something that the committee should look at closely by hearing some witnesses.
I am ready to answer questions, Madam Chair.
