Mr. Speaker, the member mentioned all of the good things the government has been doing. Yes, I agree it has been doing some good things, especially with the CERB. However, if I were an auto worker, steel worker or a building tradesperson who was laid off on March 15, I would now be forced to go into a system in which I would lose $72 a week and be denied the collective right to collect supplementary unemployment benefit from my company, which is about $150 a week. That totals about $900.
New Democrats have brought this to the government's attention, and I am hoping it was an honest mistake. Will the government correct this to make sure that people get the maximum benefit they are entitled to and worked all their lives for, instead of being denied it because the government has taken away their negotiated right?
