Mr. Chair, I am totally opposed to this way of conducting business. As I have already said, this change in the rules has the effect of depriving the two opposition parties of the time set aside for their questions. I do not appreciate that approach at all. I suggest that, next time, our Liberal friends remember what I have just said. Otherwise, there is no point in establishing the rules at the beginning. I find this situation annoying.
Mr. Minister, clearly, we support the idea of creating a fund and we support the contributions of employees and employers being used exclusively for the purposes of the employment insurance fund. But we would like you to explain the functions of the new board compared to those that the commission presently fulfills.
The other day, you told us that the objective was to make the operation more transparent, specifically when it comes to setting contribution rates. The reason why this function is being taken away from the commission is not clear to us. We are not opposed to the idea, but we would like to understand clearly the roles of each of the two bodies.
