Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her important question.
As we well know, we must continue to help Canadians, especially those in difficulty. We certainly know that, and we must do better. We increased EI sickness benefits from 15 weeks to 26 weeks, and I am sure that this will help a lot.
We will work with companies to find other ways to support those who are ill, because they should not get into financial difficulty. I understand my colleague's question very well.
