The last issue that I wanted to talk about goes back to you, Ms. Fraser. It is a contentious issue that this committee has dealt with over the last six or seven years, and that is the entire reporting on the employment insurance account. We've made recommendations, and changes have been made.
Looking forward, you always like to see the financial statements reflect the true economic substance of the transactions in government, but I see that we're still reporting on this $50 billion fund. It's called a fund, but I still find it misleading to the public. You try to simplify things, but we know, and you know, and everyone in the room knows there is no fund out there.
Tomorrow in question period the Minister of Human Resources will be asked a question: what is she going to do with this $50 billion fund that she's sitting on?
I honestly think that the employment insurance premiums should reflect the benefits paid. I know there are economic cycles that you have to take into account, but is it not a little misleading to report on this $50 billion fund every year? Could I get your comments on that?
