Statement made on 08 October 2009 by Senator Mobina Jaffer

Hon. Mobina S. B. Jaffer:

Honourable senators, my question is directed to the Leader of the Government in the Senate. With respect to Employment Insurance, two weeks ago the government announced plans to reform the program to provide extended benefits for long-tenured workers. Can the leader please tell us how the government will include those who have not had the benefit of long-term employment in future EI reform?
