Thank you very much for answering my question.
I will now turn to Ms. Pohlmann.
It is a pleasure to see you again. We have done a fair amount of business together. I am not sure if I had a chance to congratulate you before, but I will take this opportunity to congratulate you, or rather thank you, for reporting the transfer, the misappropriation of employment insurance surplus funds. It really is a problem for our entrepreneurs and our workers alike. We are talking about tens of billions of dollars that have unfortunately been diverted from their primary purpose.
I will have the opportunity to ask Mr. Péloquin the question about tourist operators, which are mostly seasonal. However, there are quite a few small businesses that work in cycles based on the seasons. The new employment-insurance measures could complicate their lives. It might be a significant loss of expertise for those that have skilled workers. As the member for Beauport—Limoilou, a riding in Quebec City, a winter city, I used the example of heavy equipment operators, who not only do road work during the summer, but also take care of snow removal and snow clearing during the winter. It is very difficult to replace that type of expertise.
Have any of your members already expressed concerns to that effect? Have you studied the impact of the new employment-insurance measures?
