Mr. Speaker, the answer to the question is obvious. The budget document of last February said that we want to achieve a 10 per cent savings in the existing unemployment insurance system so that we can convert those savings to the help and development of
employment in this country. That was the whole purpose and is what the budget stated.
The hon. member would be much better off if he would read the entire budget statement and not half of it, just as he would be if he would stop using speculative, partial, piecemeal documents to try to justify his own case. In both instances I suggest that he should expand his reading.
