Mr. Speaker, since I have very little time, I will respond very briefly to the two questions concerning the bill.
On the subject of the banks, I think the Minister of Finance gave a good answer during Question Period, when the member was present.
As regards employment insurance, I think we took appropriate measures when the country's finances allowed us to. Last December, the Minister of Finance announced a $1.4 million reduction in employment insurance premiums. This benefits all workers.
Likewise, as regards transfers to his own province, I would like to point something out to the hon. member. He comes from New Brunswick, and for his province, if we include equalization payments, this represents $2,017 per capita. New Brunswick is the fourth biggest beneficiary of these programs.
I have to conclude from his comments that he supports Bill C-28, because we are going to put in an additional $1.5 billion. His province will also draw extra benefits as a result.
