There are hundreds of thousands of Canadians across the country who could be using that extra $2 billion for longer-term training, hopefully for jobs that will be decent and more stable. They would hopefully then not have to access EI again. There are people who certainly come to our attention on a regular basis who want to get into training. Either they know that their eligibility on EI is going to be so short that they won't be able to continue with it, or they don't qualify because of the current rules.
We're saying that if there's $4.4 billion available for this kind of work on LMDAs, and if we're only spending $2 billion, and then we're saying that there's a problem with training and skill shortages in the country, it seems to me that the problem isn't with the individuals. The problem is that we're not spending, either employers or governments, on what needs to be done in training.
We're going to have, as pointed out, a surplus again this year, and it's projected there will be further surpluses. We've already seen what happens with surpluses in the EI account. They disappear.
