Indeed.
The Minister of Finance of the day, or rather, the two ministers who succeeded each other, the Conservative and the Liberal Paul Martin, began to take this money, which belongs in the consolidated revenue fund, and used it for other purposes. Once they devised the recipe, they began to reduce accessibility to benefits in order to generate surpluses on the backs of workers who lost their jobs. At a certain time, over 70% of workers who lost their jobs were eligible. Today, it's 46%. People deserve better. These people were targeted and their money was stolen.
I will not be budged from this position, because this is nothing short of an economic crime, and we have to tell it like it is. I am not accusing anyone personally of having stolen the money, but rather, it is because of the system.
