Mr. Speaker, the minister says that she has analyses of the impact of labour shortages, but there is nothing available to the public.
However, the public is aware of the many consequences of the EI reform and its adverse effects including making workers poorer, breaking up families, weakening communities in the regions, and the rigamarole that workers and pregnant women have to go through, at the behest of Service Canada, when filling out their declarations in order to avoid being deemed to have “refused employment”.
Ignoring these consequences shows a lack of compassion. Could the minister show some love and cancel the reform?
