Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Human Resources Development.
Every scrap of information on the UI reform, whether leaked or not, points to the fact that women, young people and seasonal workers will be the main victims of the reform about to be introduced by the Minister of Human Resources Development.
Does the minister recognize that his reform will penalize women twice over, by limiting their entitlement to benefits because of the longer work period required, and by making this entitlement dependent not only on recipients' incomes but also on their spouses' incomes?
