Madam Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague from Repentigny for her speech.
I would like to ask her a question. Earlier, we saw that some of our colleagues, including the members for Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier and Winnipeg North, seem to think a 50-week benefit period is too much and that a 26-week benefit period would suffice. The Bloc Québécois members believe that people who are ill should receive benefits for the entire duration of their illness, up to a maximum of 50 weeks.
If our colleagues from Winnipeg North and Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier are giving up their constituents' benefits, could that money be used in other ridings so that people can receive benefits for a longer period?
