Mr. Speaker, can we trust the member for Winnipeg North's party on this issue?
I would like to share something that happened during the 2006 campaign in Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière. At the time, I met with a couple of public servants at the employment insurance office who described their working conditions to me. They worked six days a week, plus three nights, to deal with the backlog of applications. This is not a new problem. When the Liberal Party was in power, it could have looked into the issue and done something about it.
How can we trust the Liberal Party members who raised this issue?
That is a legitimate question. It is a very good initiative, but still, it comes a little late.
