Mr. Speaker, as the hon. member knows, we will shortly be tabling a new Unemployment Insurance Act here in Canada in response to what we heard from hundreds of thousands of Canadians who want basically a modern system, a system that is sustainable, and a system that will provide Canadians with a set of tools to get back to work quickly.
Part and parcel of what Canadians are calling for is greater decentralization and empowerment of local communities to make the decisions that best suit their local realities. The objectives that Canadians have set will be of course honoured in the new employment bill.
