It was a progressive change I agree with, which leads to my next question.
What is, for lack of a better term, the flexibility within the EI fund? We've done several studies since I've been on the HUMA committee, and they all point to expanding the EI system as a better social safety net for people with a host of issues and disability. We constantly hear in the House of Commons from the opposition that EI premiums are a job-killing tax on business, which I disagree with. We have social security nets in this country to protect people with minimum attachment to the workforce.
What is the flexibility if we put more demands on the EI system?
