Mr. Speaker, I have listened with a great deal of interest to the speech of my colleague, and I was deeply touched. I think that she got to the bottom of the problem.
The opposition motion says in part that the minister should go back to the drawing board, since this reform hits young people, women, seasonal workers and immigrants hard.
Could the hon. member elaborate a bit more on the situation women have to face when they enter the workforce for the first time or when they return to the labour market after raising their family? What is the situation going to be if this reform is carried out? Will they be able to get benefits or, like the motions says, are they going to be hit the hardest by this reform?
