Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Human Resources Development.
The minister foresees requiring young people to work 26 weeks at 35 hours a week in order to be entitled to unemployment insurance benefits if they lose their jobs.
Given that young people already have difficulty finding stable employment and have to go from one contract to another in order to survive, will the minister not acknowledge that his proposal will deny them the support of unemployment insurance and keep them out of the labour market? Is this what the federal government has in store for young people the day after a no vote?
