Thank you, Mr. Chair.
From my perspective, if we examine the figures provided by the Parliamentary Budget Officer, managing the debt to GDP ratio refers to the question of fiscal imbalance. This is a very important problem, but it is political, so I am going to spare you on that subject.
The government supported people during the pandemic and spent huge amounts. We in the Bloc Québécois have asked that the government eliminate the deficit in the employment insurance fund generated during the pandemic. If we look at the budget, at page 233 of the French version, we see that this will not be the case. Not only does the budget announce that there will be no reform of employment insurance, but it also announces that the workers and businesses that contribute will make up the deficit. For 2021‑22, that will amount to $25.9 billion. This year, it is $24 billion, and equilibrium will be achieved in 2030.
Can you confirm that I am reading the situation correctly?
