There is a reason that I am asking the question, Ms. Matthews. It is really to give the department, as well as my colleagues, a bit of a warning. We can make every effort that is possible but none that are impossible. There is a discrepancy between the money you have—that amount will continue to decrease—and the work you are doing. That is an issue we would like to come back to in the future, and that is why I am asking the question today.
I have another question for Ms. Forand. It has to do with EI. There again, the premium rate will be frozen until the end of 2010, according to the budget that the government announced two weeks ago. The rate would then increase up to a maximum of 0.15% per year.
At the department, have you been able to estimate the projected deficit in the EI fund as a result of the freeze?
On one hand, what do Canadians risk losing? On the other, when do you expect the EI fund to return to the level it was at three weeks ago?
