Mr. Speaker, I say very clearly that the unemployed not covered by the employment insurance system are generally those the system was not designed for, in other words, those who have never worked or have never contributed, those who are self-employed and those who have worked only a few weeks.
I want the opposition to know that we are concerned about these people too. We have set up programs for them. This is why we set up the transitional jobs fund and the youth employment strategy, which are far more useful than having them go on unemployment as the Bloc members would like.
