Mr. Speaker, perhaps my learned friend has not been listening to me.
We know Canadians want to get back to work and we are helping them do just that. I outlined a number of initiatives that we would be taking.
That is why we are extending EI benefits in our economic action plan by five weeks. That is why we are putting more resources toward EI processing. That is why we are providing more in terms of expanded work sharing so workers can continue working to support their families during this uncertain time. That is why we are investing billions of dollars in retraining initiatives to help those who have been unfortunate enough to lose their jobs. We are helping them get the training and the skills they need so they can get back to work with the jobs not only of today but also of tomorrow.
We are doing a series of things to deal with an unpleasant situation. We have to deal with them in a practical way.
I ask the member to look at all these initiatives and get behind us and support them.
