Madam Speaker, first of all, I would like to congratulate my colleague on her very fine speech and on the excellent response she just gave.
I would like her to tell us more about her view of the lack of permanent changes to EI, given the long-standing, desperate needs and the fact that the funds are available. It must be said that there is enough money in the EI fund. We can afford to implement the changes the Bloc Québécois is asking for, such as extending the sickness benefit period.
How do we explain the government's refusal to make permanent changes when the funds are available?
