Mr. Speaker, I thank the minister for her speech.
I think steps in the right direction have been taken. Access to employment insurance has been a big problem for years. The NDP has been calling for it, and we welcome it.
I have three quick questions. Since these are temporary programs, when can we expect permanent EI reform? Will self-employed and freelance workers be included? Will there be 50 weeks of sick leave for people who are sick and on employment insurance?
