Mr. Speaker, a third of a million Canadians have lost their jobs under the Conservative government.
Tens of thousands cannot get the employment insurance they paid for, because Conservatives insist on eligibility rules designed for the beginning of a boom. But the boom has gone bust. The C.D. Howe Institute, the Conference Board, and the TD Bank are not socialist organizations, and they all say the Conservatives are wrong on EI.
Why will the Prime Minister not help all the jobless workers who are suffering through his recession, regardless of where they live?
