Mr. Speaker, I am particularly concerned about this issue because I myself fall into this category.
In times gone by, there were programs in the employment insurance system to train older workers and workers in general. There are fewer and fewer training programs.
In addition to making changes that have damaged the employment insurance system, the government is allocating less money to training programs. In my opinion, it should be doing the opposite. One of the reasons why it is no longer possible to provide as much training is that governments have, too often, dipped into the employment insurance fund. The money that belonged to workers and business people has disappeared.
