Mr. Speaker, we have made solid commitments to improve the employment insurance system so that it meets the needs of Canadian families.
We created the new family caregiver benefit, we made the rules for EI sickness benefits more flexible, and we simplified the application process so Canadians can get their benefits more easily.
The Conservatives did not understand what a huge impact some illnesses can have on Canadian families, but we are working steadily to improve the employment insurance system.
