moved for leave to introduce Bill C-257, an act to amend the Unemployment Insurance Act.
Mr. Speaker, this bill would change certain functions with regard to insurability of UI claimants. At present, there is a very serious backlog of files to be reviewed in terms of insurability. The purpose of the bill is to decentralize administration to the employment centres to make sure the backlog problem is resolved.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
