Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister would have Canadians bow and scrape before him because he has tinkered over the last while with employment insurance premiums.
However, he knows that insurance premiums are still way too high and the average Canadian worker is paying $350 per worker per year too much. The average business is paying $500 a year too much every single year.
The Prime Minister knows it is against the law to use this in general revenue. The Employment Insurance Act states this.
Canadians and I want to know from the Prime Minister why he is planning to skim the employment insurance fund when the law states that he is not allowed to do it.
