Mr. Speaker, let us look at the facts. First and foremost, every year the employment insurance commission does a review of the employment insurance program. This is a commission made up of employers, employees and the government. The commission indicates that 88% of Canadians in paid employment would be eligible for employment insurance should they need it.
Let us also remember that the government has not hesitated to make changes to improve the employment insurance system when evidence is presented.
I remind Bloc members again that every time our government moves to enhance the employment insurance program they vote against it.
