Mr. Speaker, seasonal workers do not need to worry about the changes to employment insurance.
No one who has made a reasonable effort to look for a job will be cut off from benefits. No one will be forced to move away from their community or to commute great distances to accept a job. No one will be forced to take a job that will leave them financially worse off than being on employment insurance. No one who takes a job in the off-season will be prevented from returning to their seasonal job once the season resumes.
If Canadians are unable to find work, EI will continue to be there for them as it always has been.
