Madam Speaker, I would like to ask my colleague a question about the need to reform EI. There are many inequalities, particularly in a riding such as his, where there are seasonal jobs, although it is worth noting that it is the jobs that are seasonal, not the workers.
Does my colleague not think it is high time to modernize the EI system, as the government has repeatedly promised to do since 2015, so that it better reflects the realities of today's labour market? There are still many inequities in the system. Pregnant women who lose their jobs while on maternity leave can find themselves without access to EI benefits. Young people and workers in seasonal jobs also continue to face significant gaps in coverage. What does my colleague think of this idea of reforming EI?
