Mr. Speaker, at the rate the government is going, the trees will grow back before workers get help. Nothing changes. Every time there is a crisis, six out of 10 workers are abandoned by employment insurance. Somehow, the federal government is surprised every time. We would not urgently need more flexible measures today if the government had reformed EI as promised. History is repeating itself because of its broken promises. When will it announce emergency measures for all workers affected by the fires, including those who fall through the cracks?

Mr. Speaker, there are workers who are missing out on weeks of work because of the wildfires. For some, returning to work in the short term is not in the cards. They include seasonal workers employed in forestry, tourism, outfitting, parks and many other sectors. The federal government says it will fast-track their EI claims. For some, that is good. For all the workers who do not qualify for EI because of the excessively high 700-hour threshold, it is useless. Is the minister going to ease the requirements to ensure that no worker affected by the wildfires is left behind?
