Mr. Speaker, I have no problem in saying that any reform we want to propose to unemployment insurance will seek the ultimate in fairness and distribution of opportunities.
However, I want to repeat to the hon. member something which I think he knows is important because he was very active on the committee. There was a very large and overwhelming consensus in the country by all those who reported that we must shift the emphasis from unemployment insurance simply as a payment of benefits to providing investment in individual Canadians to help them get back to work. Perhaps the most fair, just and equitable thing we can do is give every Canadian a chance to work.
