Mr. Speaker, no. I absolutely do not believe that our reform has increased poverty. On the contrary, I believe that our reform is contributing at present to the dynamism of the Canadian economy which is good news to everyone.
What I can say is that we are fully aware that this was a very important reform. That is why, within the employment insurance reform itself, we have included a follow-up process in order to gauge its impact and to ensure that, after one year of implementation, we will have a report we can discuss to see whether the reform meets the needs of Canadians.
