A demonstration against the Harper government’s changes to the Employment Insurance (EI) program took place on Saturday, January 26 in Moncton. The demonstration was held outside the Delta Beauséjour in Moncton where Conservative MP Bernard Valcourt was a guest speaker. The demonstrators sent a strong message to Valcourt to scrap the changes to EI.  Another demonstration took place in Inkerman, near Caraquet, where several hundred people rallied against the changes. There have been ongoing rallies against the changes across the province since the changes were announced. Regional committees have formed to oppose the changes.

Une manifestation a eu lieu à l’hôtel Delta Beauséjour à Moncton le samedi 26 janvier ou plusieurs personnes se sont rencontré pour dévoiler au député fédéral conservateur, Bernard Valcourt la nouvelle diète pour les chômeurs et les chômeuses au NB.  Le message était clair:  “Assurance-emploi, les changements à la poubelle”.  Une manifestation a aussi eu lieu à Inkerman avec plusieurs centaines de personnes.
