Mr. Speaker, employment insurance reform is giving rise to anomalies that only the Conservatives can understand.
A man from Carleton was offered a job in Gaspé. Gaspé, of course, is three and a half hours from Carleton. In another example, a man from the Îles-de-la-Madeleine was offered a job in Bonaventure, on the Gaspé Peninsula. That is a twelve-hour trip, including a $50 ferry ride.
In light of this information, does the minister still believe that the definition of “suitable employment” is appropriate?
