Mr. Speaker, the quotas imposed by the Conservatives in their employment insurance reform continue to produce adverse effects.
Service Canada is forcing 80 workers at the Eastern Quebec Seafoods plant to repay the government for benefits they have received since 2011 under a Service Canada work-unemployment program. Plant employees might have to repay as much as $14,000 in benefits that the plant, the employees, but most of all Service Canada deemed to be legitimate.
Will the minister step in and ensure that Service Canada honours its agreements with the plant and the workers in Matane?
