Mr. Speaker, this past year, while our country was facing a recession, we introduced a series of measures to support those who lose their jobs.
These measures included, first, an additional five weeks of benefits for the unemployed and, second, between five and twenty additional weeks for older workers. Then, we introduced measures to support self-employed workers, who now have access to sickness and compassionate care benefits.
In addition, we froze EI premium rates for employees and employers.
Why is it that, whenever we introduce such fine measures, the Bloc Québécois votes against them?
