Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for Acadie—Bathurst for his question.
I have already stated on a number of occasions, including last week at Rivière-du-Loup, that I am concerned by the fact that the proportion of EI recipients is only 42%, when it used to be 80%.
Before making any decision whatsoever, we must have a proper grasp of the figures and I have yet to receive an explanation. Once we have understood the reality, we will take corrective action.
