Mr. Speaker, as the hon. member knows, we are particularly sensitive to the importance of a wide variety of seasonal and cyclical work in the country. It is important for a variety of regions.
As the House probably knows, for that reason we established a special working group that represents different sectors and different regions of the economy. We are now specifically looking at the issue of seasonal work. We have established a series of bilateral discussions with construction trades and other affected sectors. We are working with them in a very co-operative way to make sure that any new design of unemployment insurance fits the requirements of Canadian industry and Canadian seasonal workers.
