Mr. Speaker, the only things in the House that are shovel-ready are the answers from that minister.
When I heard the minister was making an EI change this morning, I hoped she had seen the light and had maybe decided to stop the distortions and the untruths and offer something to help the many thousands of Canadians who are victims of this Conservative recession, but no, not even close. It was a rehash a previously announced plans, once again.
Did the Conservatives standardize benefits? No. Did they bring regional fairness to EI, a national 360-hour standard? No.
