Mr. Speaker, the government has responded in many different ways and has made changes to the EI program.
With respect to the sick benefits, we made a commitment to increase the number of weeks. If we look at the Canadian Cancer Society, it is one of the health care organizations that came up with a well-founded 26-week recommendation. We have committed to working toward that. If we compare the past to what we do today, that is a significant improvement.
Would the member agree that moving it forward is a positive thing for Canada's working class?
