Mr. Speaker, according to the Globe and Mail , the government is preparing to reduce maximum insurable earnings for unemployment insurance.
This decrease will constitute the most important tax cut by this government, but essentially the ones to benefit will be high income earners who will therefore be paying less into the unemployment insurance fund, while people with unstable and seasonal work will get less money in benefits.
The minister himself has stated in the past that raising the ceiling would improve income distribution. He knows what he is doing.
We are anxious to see this long awaited unemployment insurance reform. This government, which claims it is addressing people's real problems, did not dare to table it before the referendum. Now we are really going to get clobbered.
