Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Human Resources Development.
Last week, the CSN made public the minister's bill on unemployment insurance reform. It indicates that, the more workers need unemployment insurance, the less help they will get from it. The rate of benefits paid to the unemployed will in fact be reduced according to the number of weeks they have drawn benefits in the past. The minister refused to comment before the referendum.
Now that the referendum is over, will the minister acknowledge that the two-tiered unemployment insurance plan, which he claimed last spring to have rejected, is sneaking back into his bill and that seasonal workers will be hard hit by his reform?
