Mr. Speaker, 60% of unemployed people do not qualify for employment insurance. That is the real problem.
The Conservatives apparently decided that their biases and their irresponsible ideology would win out over reason.
They are now waging open war on seasonal workers, the Atlantic provinces, the Gaspé and millions of Canadians who need the employment insurance fund, their fund.
Meanwhile, the government is making changes to boards of referees to ensure that there will be no possibility of appeal.
Why is this government going after workers and targeting the economy of Atlantic Canada and the Gaspé? I might add that it cut $18 billion from ACOA—
