The minister appeared before the committee and told us that employment insurance would now offer more choice and flexibility and that it should reflect the conditions of families and workers in 2019.
We know that 60% of workers are currently not eligible for EI. If we break it down by gender, 30% of women and 50% of men qualify.
The minister said he wants to implement a reform, which leads me to my next question.
Within the department, have you started working on a reform to reflect the new realities of the job market, especially for women in precarious work?
