EI reform has no hidden agenda, says former Bloc leader

Gilles Duceppe's pro-sovereignty views will not be an obstacle on a panel created to exam the impact of employment insurance reforms, proposed by the Conservatives.

According to CBC News, Duceppe said that he will consult with union representatives, experts and chambers of commerce on the impact of the new EI reforms that affect Quebec employees and employers.

Once he has gathered his findings, the commitee will tour the province this fall to reveal the results and table a proposal to the provincial government.

The $1.5 million committee created by the P.Q. has been met with critisicm by the opposition Liberals.

They have said that the committee is a cover-up for the P.Q. so they can tour the province and promote its pro-soverignty agenda at the expense of taxpayers.
