Please allow me to reply in French.
I believe that the various levels of government play a key role in supporting and training workers today. We already have many worker training programs to help them find a job. I am not so sure that the employment insurance fund should pay for training and helping people improve their skills so they can find a new job.
But there may be solutions. We could perhaps study the possibility of recognizing the skills of workers who have a job and which skills might be lost if they were laid off. The issue we are studying today leads me to say that regardless of the manner in which we spend the money from the employment insurance fund, the premiums paid should only go towards paying for employment insurance benefits. As for the other social programs, we believe they should be dealt with separately, and that employment insurance should be indeed just that, namely insurance.
I am probably just answering part of your question, but that's how we see it.
