The Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois' proposed bills would improve the system by establishing uniform minimum eligibility criteria\u2014360 hours\u2014and eliminating the two week waiting period.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1370977\" data-originallang=\"fr\">If the minister really cares about what happens to the unemployed, she should vote for these two bills. What is she waiting for?</p>",
