Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister says that the system helps most people. Here are some people it does not help.
In Quebec and Atlantic Canada lobster fishermen are hurting especially hard and so are their crews. In Glace Bay, in Parsons Pond, in Shediac collapsing prices are forcing fishermen to let their crew go. Thousands of them may not qualify for EI at all, despite what the Prime Minister says.
Why is the government not fixing EI to help these Canadians in their hour of need?
