I thank the member for his difficult question.
The freezing of EI premiums will save employers and workers about $660 million in 2014 alone, and we'll be able to still go forward with our 2017 plan about balancing the EI fund. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business is entirely supportive.
We will not ever again do what the previous Liberal government did, and that is, we will not steal money from the EI plan in order to balance our budget.
