Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives lack of empathy is astounding.
If individuals are lucky enough to never need EI or use it only once, then they may be okay, but if a community relies on seasonal industries such as tourism, fishing, forestry or agriculture, or if individuals have been laid off more than once, the government has its sights on them.
EI does not belong to the Conservatives to change on a minister's whim; it belongs to the workers who paid into it.
Why is the government forcing a job on out-of-work Canadians?
