Mr. Speaker, 1.5 million people are currently unemployed in Canada, and there are only 600,000 employment insurance recipients. This means that about six out of ten unemployed workers are not receiving benefits. This is proof that we must improve access to employment insurance.
Why does the government refuse to set the eligibility threshold at 360 hours for everyone, which would give more people access to employment insurance, and would stimulate the economy at the same time?
