Mr. Speaker, the NDP wants the government to enforce the law in order to save jobs at Aveos.
Under the guise of employment insurance reform, the Conservatives have just launched a direct attack against workers across Canada. The government is trying to twist workers' arms and force them to accept any old job. They are being told that if they are not qualified or if they are unwilling to leave their children behind for weeks on end, then, too bad, they will lose their benefits.
This shows a staggering lack of respect and is a slap in the face to those who have lost their jobs despite their best efforts.
Does this government really believe that by playing the enforcer and condemning people to work as cheap labour it will solve the employment crisis?
