Mr. Speaker, the government is already $4 billion over budget this year. That is where it can find some savings.
The government will do anything to stay in power. We have the finance minister who is saying payroll taxes are a cancer on job creation. Yet the government raises payroll taxes. He said this spring that the EI fund belongs to workers and employers. Now he is setting out to raid it.
When will the minister quit this cynical, political manipulation of the government's finances and put jobs ahead of his own political ambitions?
