I’m going to take 30 seconds to speak to Bob Kirke. I’m surprised to see that a representative of an employer, who pays 1.4 times the employee premium rate, can be in favour of Bill C-9 on employment insurance. If we have some time left, we can discuss that further.
I’d like to thank the people from the FTQ for presenting their file. That file reminds me of the victims of Earl Jones. In that case, they were a group of vulnerable individuals who were cheated in a swindle, and here we have vulnerable people who contribute to employment insurance and who are also being cheated. If we can’t say the government is a swindler, what is the term you would use to illustrate the fact that some $50 billion has disappeared and that everything has been accumulated since premiums have been paid by employees and paid at one point four times that rate by employers?
