In response to our recommendation for a plan to eliminate the deficit, we're a Chamber of Commerce, so we have a wide variety of members from universities, municipalities, the public sector, and the private sector. But those in the private sector are very concerned about the deficit and the impact it has on their operations. All businesses over the last year have had to take measures to restrain their spending and exercise extreme discretion in how they allocate their resources, so we'd like to see the same from government.
On the EI fund, our biggest concern as the Chamber of Commerce--and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce has expressed this concern as well a number of times--is the balance between employer premiums and employee premiums. We've made a number of submissions in the past calling on the government to seriously examine and address the issue of employer premiums under the EI program to ensure that we have a competitive structure there and don't get into a situation where we have huge surpluses.
