Mr. Speaker, 800,000 Canadians who are unemployed in this country today are not receiving any employment insurance benefits. That is because the government has changed the rules to make them ineligible.
The Prime Minister talks about choices, about a debate of what to do with the employment insurance fund but he never talks about reinvesting any of those funds in supporting the unemployed and their families. Is he saying that improving access or improving benefits are not among the choices?
