Thank you, Chair.
Thank you Minister Qualtrough for joining us today.
It's sometimes easy to forget that we are here in service to Canadians who are directly impacted by the decisions we make.
Since Bill C-24 was introduced, I've heard almost daily from my constituents in London West, concerned about their EI benefits running out and asking if the targeted changes in this bill were already in effect so that they could breathe a little easier.
On Tuesday we heard from labour leaders about how important it was that this legislation be passed. I wonder if we could get your thoughts on the importance of getting this bill through the House this week.
