It included an extra five weeks of regular benefits. It expanded work sharing, which is now protecting 80,000 jobs a year. We are offering training for those who are EI eligible and for those who are not.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1430111\" data-originallang=\"en\">The NDP voted against every one of those things. If it were up to the NDP, people would have no more benefits.</p>",
