Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives are not even able to fill the positions posted in 2008 and they think they are making a difference today. The Conservatives refused to act even though they knew the economic crisis was coming and many people would be thrown onto employment insurance.
After more than a year, many citizen service agent positions have still not been filled. How can we believe what the Conservatives say?
After a year of inaction, can we expect more of the same when it comes to hiring new employees to process employment insurance applications?
Will workers also have to wait another year before getting help? Will workers who need employment insurance get the necessary assistance immediately?
