Mr. Speaker, not only have the Conservatives managed to backlog the Social Security Tribunal, but they have also created a totally unrealistic requirement.
Unemployed workers now have to have a lawyer representing them at the tribunal. When people are unemployed and do not have any income, how are they supposed to pay for a lawyer?
Will the government act quickly to fix this mean-spirited stupidity and let Canadians choose how they want to be represented, as in the old system?
