Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his questions. The first answer is yes, there are very concrete measures in the government bill. The first, most concrete measure is that premiums for businesses will be reduced, which will help to create jobs. It is estimated that 150,000 new jobs will be created under this new system.
On the member's second proposal concerning unemployment insurance surplus, I want to tell him that in 1990 the unemployment insurance fund had a surplus of $2 billion and with the recession that followed it became a deficit of $6 billion. We do not want to have to deal with the same problems that we faced in 1993 and 1994. So, what the government is doing now is taking preventive measures. We are trying to prevent problems in the future.
