Mr. Speaker, what will it take for the minister to make serious reforms to EI? Workers' groups have been consulted. There have been two consultations, so the problems and solutions have been identified. The minister has a mandate, so what more will it take? Why is she abandoning workers?

Mr. Speaker, that is not true, and it is a shame that we are forced to demand that the government renew the temporary measures because the minister did not do her job. She needs to completely overhaul EI. She was mandated by the Prime Minister himself. It is clearly set out in her mandate letter. Not only must the minister present a plan, but she was also meant to implement reforms by summer 2022. Summer 2022 is over and the minister has once again shown up empty-handed. When will she present a comprehensive EI reform?

Madam Speaker, my colleague is right. There have been no reforms, just the opposite of reforms really and the gutting of employment insurance. The government has hollowed out a social safety net program, reducing it to a mere insurance program that is essentially funded by workers and employers. The government even pillaged the fund to erase deficits and make cuts. Reforming employment insurance means fixing what was done and making sure it will never be done again. Most importantly, it means guaranteeing stronger, more equitable rights for everyone.
