Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Human Resources Development. Wanting to look like Robin Hood, the Minister of Human Resources Development pretends that his reform will attack the wealthy unemployed so that more can be given to the poor, by taking from households earning over $60,000 the right to collect unemployment insurance benefits while requiring them to continue to pay premiums.
Does the minister recognize that his proposed reform of unemployment insurance will force 2.6 million households earning over $60,000 to pay UI premiums without being able to collect benefits?
