I am certain that this evening he, like I, will be cheering for the Edmonton Oilers as they head into the Stanley Cup finals.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8838269\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I have a question for the member. In regard to this particular throne speech, but in previous Parliaments as well, the workers across this country have been demanding that the government take steps to reform EI and make it more appropriate. Now that we are getting such incredible threats from the United States, from Donald Trump, and we are seeing illegal tariffs on our steel and aluminum, would the Conservative Party support reforming EI to make it so that all workers can use it as they need to?</p>",
