Since October 14, when Stephen Harper was returned to office, opposition MPs have introduced seven separate bills to reform EI. None has made it past first reading.

The NDP MP for Sackville-Eastern Shore, Peter Stoffer, introduced Bill C-217, to improve compassionate care benefits.

The NDP MP for Acadie-Bathurst, Yves Godin, introduced bills to increase the length of the benefit period.

And Christian Ouellet, Bloc Québécois MP for Brome-Missisquoi, and Claude Gravelle, NDP MP for Nickel Belt, both introduced bills to cancel the two-week waiting period before a worker can collect benefits.
