We could not see any positive effects. I agree with Mr. Beauregard.
The issue is extremely important. The employment insurance system is not a trivial system. The stakes are extremely high. When you make a reform, you have to make sure you know the scope of it and what the objectives are. The fact that all this is being buried within a number of other subjects, which are just as important, worries us because not enough importance is being attached to it.
This regime is at a crossroads. It needs to find a structure that is more oriented towards those who should benefit from it. I am not just talking about the workers, but also the employers, who contribute to this scheme. It must be brought closer to the people on the ground. As my colleague said, there is a difference between the situation of an unemployed worker in Alberta and an unemployed worker in Quebec. I would add that there are even major differences between regions in Quebec. Unemployment in Montreal and unemployment in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean are not the same, given the industrial fabric.
