Employment Insurance and the Film and Television Industry — Andrew Cash, NDP, Comment in the House of Commons
September 26th, House of Commons debate on changes to Employment Insurance legislation
Andew Cash (NDP)
“Let us take the $5 billion TV and film industry which employs about 130,000 people on a project-by-project basis. In between projects, workers are out there hustling for their next gig. That is how this works. To force them from their field is to rip the muscle right out of the sector.
Why is the government weakening the Canadian arts and culture industries just at the time when they are becoming world leaders?”
