Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Human Resources Development, who is responsible for employment insurance.
Two important figures clearly stand out in this dossier. In 1997, there were 35% more people unemployed than in 1989, and yet there are 33% fewer employment insurance recipients.
Will the minister finally admit that his reform has gone much too far, and that it deprives the unemployed of the minimum income they require to support their families?
