Mr. Speaker, our thoughts are also with Ms. Grégoire and all victims of the virus.
The Liberals' announcement about COVID-19 leaves workers out in the cold as usual. Staying home is not an option for people without sick leave. They may lose their pay and maybe even their jobs.
Almost 60% of Canadian workers do not qualify for employment insurance. Therefore, if we want to ensure the virus does not spread, people have to be able to stay home if they are sick and still pay their rent.
When will the government guarantee that all workers who have to self-quarantine get the financial support they need to feed their families?
