Mr. Speaker, it is incredible to hear that. This situation is completely unacceptable. It is terrible to leave the people who are most in need in the lurch while the government ponders and evaluates.
I repeat that these pilot projects, including the pilot projects on the five additional weeks and the lower St. Lawrence and Madawaska economic zones, are very important to thousands of Canadian workers.
Time is running out, and the situation is urgent. I call on the minister to act instead of hiding behind evaluations.
Why is the minister refusing to help the unemployed while she waits for the evaluations of the pilot projects?
