Mr. Speaker, in 1941 the provinces, including the province of Quebec, gave to the federal government the responsibility for the unemployment insurance program. It is part of the Constitution. In case the hon. member has not read the Constitution lately, it is in the Constitution. For all those who pay into the system, we are the trustee to ensure they receive proper benefits.
We are making sure that those who have the right they establish with their payment of premiums have the right to receive the benefits. We do not care who delivers them; we simply want to ensure, as a result of our trusteeship, that they receive those benefits. That is part of the Canadian Constitution.
