Mr. Speaker, as New Democrats, we have been calling on the Liberal government to fix the Canada recovery sickness benefit and its flaws to make it easier for people to access the program and get help faster. Workers need and should be able to receive full replacement income as soon as possible when they need it. They need to be able to take a day or two off at a time and have the protection of their job and have help when they need it.
As well, we find it totally unacceptable Canadians are not aware of the program due to the lack of publicity. Does my colleague agree the federal government needs to fix the flawed Canada recovery sickness benefit to make it easier for workers to access the program and get help more quickly?
