Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. I expected a different one.
We can act now. Why wait? We have the data, and I can provide more. What are we waiting for? Right now, sick people get only 15 weeks of benefits. Whether it is a broken bone or cancer, they get 15 weeks, period. Something is obviously not right with this picture.
I will admit that the federal government made progress on EI during the last Parliament. I also recognize that EI was butchered in the past. In 2011, 2012 and 2013, the government did everything in its power to limit access to employment insurance. The previous government made progress, but much more needs to be done. If we start reviewing everything, we will still be here in 10 years. We know how these things go. I will not be here in 10 years, but others will be.
Tomorrow, we can vote for the motion and provide immediate relief to those who are suffering. I feel like that is what an MP's role should be.
