So much is being said about what is being done now. But these measures deal more with extending the duration of employment insurance benefits. Well, first, one would have to be eligible for these benefits to have access to these measures. You believe that these measures are bypassing an entire segment of the population, in other words women, students, workers who earn low wages, may lose their jobs and become unemployed again, part-time workers and seasonal workers. You believe Bill C-308 will have a major impact on all of these workers who paid employment insurance premiums when they were working.
