Mr. Speaker, we were been back in our ridings last week. All of us saw men, women and young people in our offices who have been the victims of the economic downturn.
The reality as we see it is that EI is no longer fulfilling its role, which is why the surplus is up to $8 billion.
How many billions do we need to get to before the minister will understand that her program does not provide sufficient protection to the unemployed?
