Just what we need. Another opportunity for the pols to show their regional parochialism. Already Duceppe has complained that the Tory EI changes will benefit Ontario more than Quebec. This will pit east against west with the Oppos claiming the Tories designed it benefit Tory ridings.

And of course the NDP have already pledged to support it.
