Mr. Chair, I'll address that question, but my colleague, Mr. Cross, may also want to do so because I think Mr. Keddy may be referring in part to some work that Mr. Cross has done for the institute.
The only thing I would say directly to that is that I know that various proposals have been put out by different parties in the past week or so with respect to EI premiums. One of the unfortunate things about this debate is that it hasn't looked at the EI structure, the design of the program on the benefit side. I think what Mr. Cross' paper on labour market shortages seeks to get at is the extent to which we don't have a properly functioning labour market because of distortions such as the EI program. I think it's difficult to discuss things like the temporary foreign worker program before looking at what government is currently doing to distort the labour market.
