Mr. Speaker, this government always finds some excuse to justify its lack of commitment to workers and the unemployed.
The Liberals and the Conservatives have been giving the same unacceptable excuses for the past 13 years. We have 800,000 workers who do not qualify for employment insurance. Also 1.4 million children are living in poverty. A fairer and more accessible EI program would help address that.
Yesterday, the government introduced a program that will do nothing to help workers. Enough already with laughing at people's expense.
What is the minister going to do to help this country's workers?
