I want to point out that you put forward the Canada Employment Insurance Financing Board, on top of the existing Canada Employment Insurance Commission. One makes recommendations on the EI program, and the other manages the premiums in order to determine the premium rate—providing a balance.
This bill was passed by the House and received royal assent on June 18, 2008.
To everyone's surprise, in the last budget, you set the premium rate at its lowest level since 1982 and decided which EI measures would be enhanced.
Does that not confirm the concerns of the organizations that spoke up and said that they would just become two puppet organizations? They added that this would allow you to make the decisions in the place of those whose job it was to do so, and that the organization in question could not do anything for another two years.
