Mr. Speaker, the minister did not say anything about improving benefits for the people who need it; he just talked about cuts. And your mandate is to cut at least another $1.5 billion in addition to the $1 billion you have already cut.
Does the minister at least admit that the women who will be especially hard hit by this proposal you are trying to hide will have to work twice as long to qualify for UI benefits and that, if they cannot do so, they will end up on social assistance or be unable to find a way out?
These women have a right to know what the Canada of tomorrow will be like if they vote No.
