Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. The Bloc Québécois has proposed a number of measures to help workers who are experiencing hardship because of the manufacturing crisis. The government has before it a bill aimed at improving employment insurance to make this program more flexible and more accessible to workers.
During the last election campaign, the Conservatives promised a program to help older workers. People in my riding remember that promise. Unfortunately, they are disappointed again because no real income support program for older workers has been implemented yet. It is part of the solutions proposed by the Bloc Québécois and we hope it is accepted by the Conservative Party.
