moved for leave to introduce Bill C-244, An Act to amend the Employment Insurance Act (removal of waiting period).
Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the seconder of this bill, the member for Acadie—Bathurst.
This bill would remove the waiting period that precedes the commencement of employment insurance benefits after an interruption of earnings and repeals provisions that refer to that waiting period.
