Mr. Speaker, 3,500 people in Laval lost their jobs in 2008. And job losses continue to rise.
One unemployed worker who was unable to find long-term employment was forced to accept several, very short-term contracts. Employment insurance does not take his situation into account. Like thousands of unemployed Canadians, he is waiting for the government to make employment insurance more accessible. The Prime Minister refuses to do so.
Can the minister tell this House how she intends to improve employment insurance to help Canadians?
