Mr. Speaker, I thought that the member was going to deal with the three report stage motions.
The most important question I have for the member has to do with credibility and integrity.
Members may recall that when all of this subject matter about helping people as a consequence of the financial crisis was raised, we were talking about the 360 hour threshold for being able to collect benefits. The government said that it was going to cost $4.4 billion and then before we knew it, it went down to $2.5 billion. Ultimately, it was shown to only be $1.3 billion.
The minister herself has said time and time again that these benefits for these industries were supposed to be available for all Canadians, yet now it is very clear that they are not. The forestry industry, for example, is not going to be able to get a buy-in.
Could the member rationalize why the minister would say that these benefits would be available to all Canadians when in fact they are not?
