Madam Speaker, hundreds of fish harvesters on B.C.'s coast applied for employment insurance based on the eligibility criteria on the department's website. After they applied, the department changed the criteria on its website and now is rejecting their applications. These fish harvesters have borne the brunt of recent fisheries closures. After years with little or no income, many are just barely hanging on. Either the government failed to communicate the eligibility criteria or it changed the goalpost at the last minute.
Could the minister please inform the House which it is?
