Mr. Speaker, I am glad that a bill has been introduced in this House to support families in their time of need.
I have been hearing about a bigger issue from my constituents over the last number of months. A number of cases have come into my office where the constituents are having difficulty getting their EI cheques on time. This is a bridging time for them. When they lose a job, they need that money in order to bridge to the next job.
Would the member for Parkdale—High Park talk about the constituents in her riding who have had difficulty getting their EI cheques?
