Minister, it is my understanding that you gave in to very specific interests instead of taking the general context into account, at least on this issue.
I would like to briefly touch upon the Employment Insurance Financing Board. I was fairly dissatisfied with the answers I got during the previous consultation with respect to the $57 billion surplus that had accumulated before 2009. That was eliminated, which is frankly contrary to practices elsewhere, not only in the insurance sector but also in the pension sector.
How can you justify the existence of this board, if not simply to create a scheme giving you access to this virtual surplus of $57 billion?
