Mr. Speaker, let me remind the hon. member that we have made considerable changes and improvements to the employment insurance system. We have dealt with the question of intensity. We have made changes to the clawback. We have made the small weeks project full. Most importantly, we have doubled parental benefits to ensure that parents have the choice of staying home with their newborns for a up to a year.
In the House of Commons on November 5th, 2002. See this statement in context.
