Mr. Speaker, what the hon. member said is not entirely accurate.
I would like to quote part of an article by Alain Dubuc from La Presse. He said:
If there are no jobs available in a region, nothing changes. If there are jobs, the unemployed worker may be required to accept a position. But the end result would be a bigger paycheque than the EI cheque, and therefore a higher annual income.
We want to help unemployed workers earn more money when they work.
