Okay. Unemployment insurance was changed to employment insurance under the Liberal government. I'll actually name one so we don't get confused here. Prior to that change, the concept of unemployment insurance was that if you lost your job, because you had paid premiums and your employer paid premiums to the government, that money was used. If there hadn't been enough in the account, the government would have added more to cover it. It was underwritten by the Government of Canada.
The concept that Canadian workers have is that there was an unemployment insurance fund that they were paying into. We were of the understanding that it was a separate amount of money and that it wasn't in general revenues in those days. The change that took place in the nineties was that they shifted it to general revenues and at that point in time—the dollar amount we were hearing thrown around was anywhere from $30 billion to $50 billion—it was used by the government of the day to pay down the debt.
My points were the general revenue aspect and that it was being underwritten by the Government of Canada at that time.
