Mr. Speaker, we have known for five years that we might run into this. The government still does not have the money available for workers, so maybe they need to obtain one of those five million missing SIN numbers and that is how they will get their benefits.
We are talking about 13,500 people who have been laid off. Another 2,000 are probably going to be laid off. Most of these people are now seeing their EI benefits run out.
Instead of holding another press conference, instead of announcing all the things the government wants to do at some point in the future, when is the minister actually going to deliver the cash to these displaced workers?
