Mr. Speaker, I must say that I am dismayed. Dismayed by the actions of the members from the Bloc Québécois. Dismayed also by their choice of motto: “Debout!”, or “Stand up!”
When Quebeckers find themselves jobless and seek support from their members of Parliament to find solutions, the Bloc members remain seated.
It is our Conservative government that takes action, suggests solutions and stands up for the real interests of Quebeckers and Canadians.
We have added five weeks of employment insurance benefits. The Bloc voted against that. We have increased the number of weeks under the work sharing program. The Bloc voted against that too.
This week, the Bloc members remained seated, so to speak, by voting against extending EI benefits by 5 to 20 weeks for the self-employed.
Our Conservative government is taking action to help workers and does not remain—
