Mr. Speaker, the changes made to the employment insurance program following passage of Bill C-2, are clearly insufficient.
These changes leave too many of the unemployed still out in the cold. Lobby groups of the unemployed, the unions, even some Liberal MPs, acknowledge that something has to be done. But the government will not budge.
If the government has not already forgotten its election promises, can the Prime Minister commit to providing some help for the unemployed before the end of this session?
