Mr. Speaker, the pandemic has revealed that Canada must adapt its employment insurance system to the realities of the 21st century. Our government is currently holding consultations on how to modernize the system to make it more responsive to workers and employers. We need to strengthen the rights of workers hired through digital platforms and establish new provisions in the Income Tax Act to include that work in the calculation of hours needed to qualify for employment insurance and the Canada pension plan.
