Mr. Speaker, in the coming weeks, 600 employees of Whirlpool in Montmagny are going to be laid off. Of that number, 150 are 50 years of age or more, and most of them have paid into employment insurance for over 20 years.
Can the Minister of Human Resources Development give us his assurance today that these people will be able to benefit from a real assistance program? It is a matter of justice.
