It is as though the current government and the previous Liberal government believed that receiving employment insurance benefits was basically a sin. Today in the House of Commons, Ms. Beaudin asked a question and the Prime Minister responded by saying, in so many words, that all employment insurance recipients were paid to stay at home. That is basically what he meant. I do not know if you share his view, but I simply would like to know what you think about this matter.
Do workers throughout Canada and Quebec really want to stay at home, or do they have higher ambitions? Is it not rather that they want to work, but that there is a problem with the job situation? Under the plan, employers make contributions so that the needs of these workers' families are met.
