I would suggest, given the experience I've had in talking about this around my riding and in other parts of the province of B.C., that probably 99.9% of hard-working Canadians do not know that this favoured position exists in the EI Act for someone who goes to jail and wants to come out and start collecting EI. When I tell them about it, as I said, their number one response is, “You've got to be kidding. How can that happen?” When I tell them that I'm going to try to fix it, they say “Good for you.”
That's the response. They can't believe that favoured position is in there.
