Mr. Speaker, according to Finance Canada's Finance Monitor, the government has accumulated a $10.4 billion budget surplus in six months.
At this rate, by the end of the year, the surplus will be $15 billion, with half of it coming from the employment insurance fund.
Does this kind of surplus not show that this is government policy and that the reason the finance minister will not improve the plan is that he wants to keep using the employment insurance fund as a cash cow?
