Mr. Speaker, what our departmental study showed clearly is that close to 80% of workers who lose their jobs are covered by the employment insurance system.
The Bloc Quebecois has been using the contributor-jobless-recipient ratio for the past year in an attempt to try to get us to backtrack, to bring people back to dependence on an employment insurance system which discouraged them from working. They were wrong. The employment insurance system covers 78% of unemployed workers.
