It doesn't seem to be what Canadians are asking for, judging by the reaction from social policy organizations. Even the C.D. Howe Institute, as I heard in the House today, indicated that they were surprised that you didn't do something to increase the access for people to EI. EI is arguably, from the numbers I've seen, the best stimulus we can have, because the people who get EI have to spend it virtually right away.
Is it possible for you or your officials to get back to me with the cost of eliminating the two-week waiting period versus adding the five weeks at the end? Okay.
Also, I would be remiss if I didn't ask you about a comment you made where you suggested a week and a half ago that you didn't want to make EI too lucrative and pay people not to work. That's an offensive term to many people in Canada. Could you explain what you meant when you said that?
