Mr. Speaker, today there are 370,000 more unemployed Canadians than there were on the day of the last federal election.
Yet the Conservatives are looking at cancelling five important EI programs, programs like best 14 weeks and working while on claim. These are programs that have helped those most in need during these tough economic times. They have benefited the most vulnerable: youth, women, low-skilled workers, and low-income families.
Why are the Conservatives turning their backs on the most vulnerable Canadians in the time of their greatest need?
