Context: House Hansard - 61 - Apr/29/22
Mr. Sébastien Lemire (Abitibi—Témiscamingue, BQ)

  • Watch
Madam Speaker, nearly a hundred people in the riding of Abitibi—Témiscamingue have contacted me because they paid into EI their whole lives but are not getting a cent. Why? It is because they are the victims of fraud. Thousands of Quebeckers are in this situation. The cost of living is skyrocketing. Service Canada has been withholding income from honest people, since November in some cases. We need to investigate and punish the guilty parties, not hold the victims hostage. When will the government give workers the insurance benefits they paid into their whole lives? This is causing people anxiety, undermining their dignity and affecting their mental health.
