Mr. Speaker, at the moment, it just looks cheap. The minister cannot hide behind the commission. It is up to Parliament to amend legislation, as the commission itself pointed out. It is entirely the minister's responsibility. There are exceptions to the law that allow people claiming EI to calculate their income over two years rather than 52 weeks. People who cannot work because they are sick, injured or incarcerated are entitled to this. Why are new mothers who have lost their jobs not entitled to the same thing? It seems pretty simple to me.
