Mr. Speaker, what we are trying to do with the employment insurance system is to help people find a new job. We are offering them training to develop the skills that are needed in today’s job market as well as those that will be needed down the road. We inform them of job openings in their region in their particular field in order to help them find another job. This is good for them and for their families.
