Mr. Dorval, you represent employers in Quebec, and I want your position to be clear. There is also an economic crisis in Quebec, and you are also affected by it. I believe that employers also care about the welfare of their employees. It is not easy to lay off a long-term employee because of the economic crisis. I am sure that you want better than that. I do not want to put words into your mouth, but I would like you to think about my question before answering.
Previous governments and the current one stole $57 billion from the employment insurance fund and put the amount into general revenue. Certainly, that is where the money should come from. But some has already been taken, and there should be no more taxes. The federal government already has a $57 billion surplus in its fund.
Do you want the employment insurance program to provide income for people who have lost their jobs in the economic crisis, or do you think that the province should assume that responsibility through its welfare programs?
