Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Minister of National Defence.
Before the Easter recess, in answer to my question about employment insurance benefits for members of the reserve, the Minister of National Defence said he would let us know as soon as possible why members of the reserve did not pay premiums for service in class A or for contract jobs with a duration of less than 30 days.
Could the minister finally explain why members of the reserve are excluded from the Employment Insurance Act, while all other workers are not?
