Precisely.
Each year, the federal government amasses a surplus of between $2 and $2.5 billion. Instead of giving this money to the people who deserve it, who have worked, the government is using it to pay down the debt.
In my opinion, the government should be reinvesting half of the surplus into post-secondary education and municipal infrastructure. It's all well and good to be a paper pusher in Ottawa or Quebec City, but the municipalities are in the best position to know the needs of rural regions.
Would you be in favour of the government taking a portion of the surplus in the EI fund and transferring it to municipalities to help them deliver basic services?
