Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses.
Everyone has talked about the pandemic and the difficult time we've been through. In terms of employment insurance, I'd like to acknowledge all your work and efforts with workers and the unemployed. Thank you for that. The Employment Insurance Commission plays a major role in our structure.
We keep talking about consultations.
Mr. Laliberté, we were promised that there would be consultations, and you confirmed that there have been many. However, if everyone is asking for division 32 to be removed from part 5 of the bill, it's because between those consultations and the end of the work, there were no consultations.
The groups concerned were consulted on what the government wanted to implement in 2019. Three years later, it's in an omnibus budget implementation bill. Between then and now, there have been no consultations, and that's why you are asking for a separate bill so that consultations can be carried out properly. Is that a good analysis?
My question is for Mr. Bolduc and Mr. Laliberté.
