Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for raising this very important question.
I have had the opportunity of meeting time and again with the construction workers and their trade unions. I can say that every meeting has been very helpful and very useful. We are trying to do our best for ensuring that the EI system serves all Canadians and all unemployed Canadians. This is something we continue to pursue. I am ready to meet with the construction workers as I have already done a number of times during the summer.
