Mr. Speaker, while the Conservatives peddle their myth of a fair EI system in B.C., where there is one of the highest qualification requirements, unemployment has increased at a rate faster than the rest of the country.

Will the government introduce a uniform, 360-hour eligibility requirement and provide equal help to struggling B.C. workers?
