Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Human Resources.
Yesterday, more than 2,000 people demonstrated for the withdrawal of the unemployment insurance reform bill, which now goes by the number C-12. That group was made up of Quebecers from a number of different regions, New Brunswickers, Micmac, people from the Gaspé, Acadians, anglophones, all coming together to demand that bill C-12 be withdrawn. They have had enough of the government's dumping on the disadvantaged and the middle class to control the deficit.
Will the minister acknowledge that what people are demanding, people who need a real unemployment insurance scheme, is not minor amendments but withdrawal of this bill?
