Mr. Speaker, it is just as we thought. The Conservatives do not have any consideration for unemployed workers.
The chair of the regional conference of elected officials in my region, the Gaspé, said that 80% of that region's economy depends on seasonal workers.
What does the minister's reform involve? Is she suggesting that fishers from Rivière-au-Renard fish all year? There are not enough fish in the sea to fish that long.
She is attacking restaurant owners in Percé. Should they stay open all year too? There are no tourists in Percé in the winter.
She is attacking forestry workers in Chandler. These people will have no choice but to leave the area.
Why are the Conservatives going after the Gaspé?
