Mr. Speaker, it is an excellent question. It goes without saying that the government, if it were truly aware of the facts, would ask itself right away why it should wait to make changes at a later date when they are needed today.
Again, this afternoon, the human resources development minister—and the international trade minister said the same thing over and over again when he was the human resources development minister before her—said that the government's measures would help young people. On the contrary, they are hurting them. When will they understand? It is easy to understand. One does not have to be a rocket scientist to understand such a thing. It is very easy to understand. The measures are hurting young people and the women.
Some women in my riding have to work 600 hours while the guy next door has to work only 425 hours, do you think that is just? They have to do it if they want maternity leave. It is indecent for the government to be so dense. It does not make sense that the government does not realize right away that it should make the changes right now, just as it has promised.
