Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to take advantage of these two and a half minutes to propose a motion, which I duly tabled over 48 hours ago. It too concerns workers, albeit from a different angle. The motion reads as follows:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Committee undertake a study of the situation of workers in the seasonal industry with regard to the inadequacy of the employment insurance program to meet the needs of these workers, who often face job insecurity and financial difficulties for themselves and their families; that the Committee devote 3 meetings, including 2 to hear witnesses—
In short, seasonal workers in the regions or rural regions often have to deal with having no income or employment. This study seeks, then, to examine the situation with regard to employment insurance.
I'm seeking your support.
