Mr. Speaker, I do not think the parliamentary secretary understood my question. Unfortunately, I came here looking for answers and I did not get them.
I would like to point out that women do not have the same standard full-time work as men. Their situations are different and, instead of talking about equality, we should be talking about equity.
It is not just women who are affected by the current EI rules. Sadly, women from groups that tend to include aboriginal Canadians, visible minorities, youth, persons with disabilities and recent immigrants are struggling and they are hit by the poverty that the lack of proper employment insurance creates in our society.
I am wondering when the government will stand up for vulnerable Canadians. I see no signs of it, or very little sign of it.
In terms of the suggestions in regard to supporting legislation, we will support anything where people are protected. I am waiting to see.
