Mr. Speaker, I will try to make her understand. In New Brunswick, 44% of employment insurance cases awaiting review take more than 29 days to process. In Canada, it is 45%; in Quebec, 55%.
In some cases, it can take up to 41 weeks to process Canada pension plan and old age security cases.
In Bathurst alone, Service Canada is laying off 60 call centre employees.
How can the minister justify these layoffs? They are providing more than just brochures in Bathurst. They are providing services.
