Mr. Speaker, I would suggest that the hon. member read the guide that was tabled at the same time, because that is where the full information would be disclosed.
The reality is that when someone receives coverage under the insurance program they pay a premium. That is what an insurance policy is all about: they pay a premium and get a benefit. Now we are saying that part time workers who were denied any coverage and not included in the program will be able to get the coverage. If they do not receive eligibility they get a rebate. That seems to be simple mathematics. They receive a rebate. That is the point of the program.
What I think the hon. member is clearly missing is that as this workplace goes through very substantial changes, part time workers and many workers who now have two or three jobs do not have sufficient hours or income to get coverage. As a result, it creates insecurity, which creates problems in the labour market. We are trying to restore security for over half a million workers.
