Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Once again, I would like to thank the witnesses for attending and offer them my deepest condolences.
Bill C‑222, also known as Evan’s Law, aims to ensure that humanity and dignity come before red tape. The state must not add suffering to suffering. That is why we will support this bill which, I would remind you, aims to address certain gaps in the federal employment insurance scheme.
However, we must ensure that Quebec workers under federal jurisdiction have the same protections as others. Finally, a parent should not have to choose between grieving and being able to survive financially.
Ms. Spinks, in 30 seconds, can you tell me whether certain families, such as those whose members are in precarious employment or are self-employed, risk being excluded from the planned measures? Is this something we should be considering?
