Mr. Speaker, as I said, any person who loses his or her job is a hard time story for that person and that person's family.
While the member opposite is calling for fixes to EI, we must remember that he and his party designed it.
The Winnipeg Free Press said, “--the Liberals were the architects of the distortions in the EI programs--”. The Ottawa Sun said that the Liberals gutted EI in the nineties.
We put forward our improvements to the EI system so that we could help those unfortunate enough to lose their jobs. The Liberals voted for it without a single amendment. All they want to do is raise rhetoric and raise taxes.
