I can't comment on the accusation that the money was stolen or that there was any link between the way premium rates were set by the EI commission and other government decisions with respect to taxation and fiscal matters. I could draw the member's attention to the Supreme Court of Canada's decision in the CSN/Arvida case where they ruled that there was no impropriety in the way premium rates were set and that the government's appropriation of EI premiums in the CRF was perfectly correct.
