Madam Speaker, earlier, we heard government representatives say that the bill sought to implement urgent and targeted reforms.
However, a major flaw in this bill is the fact that it does not provide for additional weeks of employment insurance sickness benefits. We know that there is an urgent need in that regard and that the House of Commons has twice called for the EI sickness benefit to be extended to 50 weeks.
I would like to hear what the member thinks about that, and I would like to know whether the Bloc Québécois would include such a measure in this bill.
