Mr. Speaker, workers are paying for employment insurance, but the Conservatives are cutting services.
The call centres are no longer keeping up with demand and only 32% of calls get a response by the government's own deadlines. The blame for this lies squarely on the lack of resources that has resulted from the cuts. Budgets for services to the public will go from $521 million in 2010, to $273 million in 2017. In other words, the situation is not going to get any better.
Why are the Conservatives saving money on the backs of those who need help?
