Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Quebecois is always creating confusion, and I hope it is not doing so deliberately.
I will be very clear. The first two weeks are not covered, because I do not want to unload all of Montreal's downtown onto the system. Given that four or five days were not worked, it is important for businesses and workers to take measures to make up for the lost time, through overtime or by working on Saturdays. I believe this is the best solution.
As for the waiting period, the workers got cheques in advance, as in the case of the Saguenay and Manitoba disasters, regarding which the waiting period was never waived. We will act humanely in each and every case.
