Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Winnipeg North.
Increasing the benefit period from 15 weeks to 26 is a step in the right direction. To pick up on the Bloc Québécois's analogy about 26 weeks being like doors and windows, I would say that we need to keep fixing up the rest of the house.
I think fixing up the rest of the house is a great idea, but we need a plan. We need to study the situation, maximize our options and find a solution that will really help Canadians and Quebeckers so we can make sure they are treated properly and have the right number of weeks. We need to think about it and study it.
That said, I would recommend that the government study this in committee and fast-track the process so we can get recommendations by the time the session ends on June 23, 2020.
