Madam Speaker, I will do my best to address the question. Perhaps I misheard my hon. colleague, but I thought he said that under the bill up to $3,000 would be paid by the employer. Up to $3,000 actually is paid out of the wage earner protection program which would be paid out of government funds. Instead of the employees having to take their places in line to try to get their money from the company or from the creditors, they will be replaced in the line by the government. I do not know if my hon. colleague was confused on that issue.
In terms of the injustices, that is exactly what the bill is intended to address. The employee will not have to wait in line for months and months to get those unpaid wages addressed. As stated in the bill, they will be addressed very quickly, paid for out of the program by the government. It should tide the person over, whether it is finding a new job or accessing employment insurance if that is the only route available.
I am sorry if I did not quite completely understand the question, but I think the bill is very much intended to address the injustice that the hon. member mentioned.
