The NDP asked that we add two additional weeks of employment insurance and we added five weeks. The NDP voted against it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1370989\" data-originallang=\"en\">I do not know which is worse, the Liberal Party that votes for something then criticizes it or the NDP that asks for something and then votes against it.</p>",
