Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives have butchered the employment insurance program, and people like the mother with cancer are paying the price.
What disturbs me most is their twisted logic. When unemployed people want to claim benefits, they are asked to show proof that they have lost their jobs. However, when the Conservatives lose track of $3.1 billion, which is a rather large sum, they tell us it is not important that there are no documents.
Why treat employment insurance claimants like criminals and let ministers off easy? Why is there a double standard?
