Mr. Speaker, in reality, more and more Canadians are paying for the employment insurance program without being able to benefit from it at all.
Even though the program is paid for by employees and employers, the Conservatives use it for everyday expenses. According to the most recent Statistics Canada data, there are six unemployed Canadians for every vacant position. Furthermore, the government brags about creating jobs and at the same time harasses seasonal workers and empties out the regions.
When will we have an accessible employment insurance system that takes into account the realities of the labour market?
