Mr. Speaker, that was then, this is now.
Whether these workers choose to live in Magog or Sherbrooke should have no bearing on their eligibility for employment insurance. The workers at the Gurit plant all paid the same employment insurance premiums. They lost their jobs at the same time. They should be entitled to the same treatment while they look for jobs in the same region.
Will the government change the employment insurance system so that all workers are treated equally?
