Ms. Sgro, your point is one of those sort of lie-awake-at-night things for me. If the intention is to make EI into a tax cutter or whatever else, it reduces the usefulness of the program. It withers the program, and when the program starts to wither, it benefits fewer and fewer people and it is easier for somebody to say this program is of no use anymore and suggest just getting rid of it.
It is, and it has been for at least 75 years, an important part of the social safety net of this country, and it is something that needs to be preserved. So it's a worry, and it's a worry all the time.
