Mr. Speaker, one of the most unfair things about the EI legislation is the clawback provision where if one makes $39,000 a year or more one has to pay back any EI benefits collected. Just ask the auto workers in Windsor, Ontario what they think of the $39,000 clawback. It seems almost custom written to target them personally and to pick their pockets of benefits that they pay for and deserve.
When will the government call a byelection in Windsor—St. Clair and let the people tell it at the ballot box what they think of the $39,000 clawback rip-off?
