Mr. Speaker, what the Reform Party has said is that those premiums and those benefits belong to Canadian workers and Canadian businesses and that the Prime Minister should keep his claws off them. Every single paycheque workers have EI reductions which amount to $350 a year. This is too much taken from their paycheques. Every year businesses have $500 in deductions. This is too much taken off those paycheques.
Organized labour and the Canadian Federation of Independent Business want a cut in employment insurance premiums.
Why does the Prime Minister not quit breaking the law and give a break to businesses and Canadian workers who deserve a break today?
