Mr. Speaker, during the leaders' debate, the Prime Minister promised to eliminate the 910-hour eligibility threshold for new entrants to the work force.
But once the election was over, instead of ending this measure that discriminates particularly against young people, the Liberal government only dropped the threshold by a few hours, even though a single threshold of 360 hours would have qualified another 90,000 workers for benefits.
In terms of employment insurance, will the Prime Minister admit that his bottom line is, “promise made, the unemployed betrayed”?
