Mr. Speaker, the employment insurance fund belongs to millions of Canadians, but because of this Prime Minister, every worker is paying $350 too much and every small business is paying $500 per worker too much.
Rather than changing the law to take this overpayment from workers and employers, will the government commit today to ensuring that every worker will see a $350 reduction and every small business a $500 per worker reduction in their EI premiums for 1999? Not $100, not $200, but the full reduction guaranteed by law. Yes or no?
