Mr. Speaker, unemployed people must have access to employment insurance.
The Conservatives are not content to lay waste to employment insurance; they are also leading the charge against workers in seasonal industries. The Service Canada guidelines force these workers to accept any kind of job under any conditions, even if that means they must abandon their seasonal employment. If they refuse, their benefits are cut off. We may be facing regional shortages of specialized workers.
Will the minister finally admit that her reform is an absolute disaster, both for the workers and for our regional economies?
