Mr. Speaker, still there is no answer to the question of why only six per cent of the stimulus has gone out as of the 26th of May.
Improving EI eligibility will put money in the hands of 150,000 Canadians and their families, people hardest hit during this crisis. That is effective, immediate and targeted stimulus, and it will get there before the hon. member's infrastructure programs even begin to kick in.
The government can do this without raising payroll taxes and it can do it without raising benefit levels or duration, so why will the government not make EI work?
