Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Human Resources recently said in the House that seasonal workers in the riding of Beauséjour—Petitcodiac will not be penalized for having banked hours for employment insurance benefits. His department assured me that the people in the riding of Acadie—Bathurst would be treated the same way, but it reversed its decision and is now asking them to pay.
Can the Minister of Human Resources commit to equal treatment for seasonal workers everywhere experiencing the same problem, and not just those in Liberal ridings?
