Mr. Speaker, I commend the hon. member for her speech. It is interesting to hear some of the members from New Brunswick.
I will just give a quick example, and maybe my colleague can comment on it.
Let us say that I own and operate a mill in northern New Brunswick, Cape Breton or anywhere, and the snow is too deep every year so my operator is laid off. That operator says, “I'm not going to get my EI because I'm a repeat offender”, so he moves away and operates equipment somewhere else. What happens the following spring? Do I get the fish plant worker that is on EI to operate a $200,000 machine?
This will cause havoc for the employers out there. They are paying into the system to get these workers, to have reliable and constant workers.
My question to my hon. colleague is this. What does she think about that?
