Mr. Speaker, I thank the Conservative member for his question. It is quite pertinent. I would also ask the Conservative members if they support Bill C-269.
Not only is this the reality in Quebec, but it is representative of the experience of workers throughout Canada.
My colleague, who sits on the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities, carried out consultations across the country. He heard from all groups and associations that advocate for and support workers, the unions and the Canadian Labour Congress. They all agree that the current Employment Insurance Act absolutely must be overhauled.
Whether Liberal or Conservative, we must concern ourselves with the fate of our workers in our ridings.
