Mr. Speaker, we know Canada's EI system is complex, and that is why we are focused on improving it. In the past two years, the minister led more than 35 virtual, national and regional round tables with workers, employers and academics. EI reform is a priority. We are on it, and we will get it done. At the same time, we are making historic investments in skills training and in support like child care to help more Canadians re-enter the workforce, and it is working. Over 830,000 more Canadians are working than before the pandemic. On this side, we will always, always have workers' backs.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her question because it is a very important question. We have always been there for workers across Canada. We have promised EI reform and we will deliver. In this budget, we have demonstrated once again that we are there for Canadian workers across the country and we will continue to be.
