Mr. Speaker, in a study published last week, Royal Bank analysts estimated that using part of the surplus of the unemployment insurance fund to lower premium rates would create tens of thousands of jobs in Canada. It will be recalled that the surplus in the unemployment insurance fund will reach five billion dollars this year.
My question is for the Prime Minister. When will the Prime Minister announce a reduction in premium rates in order to create thousands of new jobs, instead of using the money of workers and companies solely to lower his deficit?
