Mr. Speaker, I have a couple of things to say.
First, we will follow the law. Second, as politicians we are called upon to make difficult choices. Is the member saying that he would rather have us reduce EI which is the lowest in the G-7? Or would he rather have broad based tax breaks that go to 100% of the Canadian taxpayers rather than to the 43% who would benefit from a cut in EI?
These are choices all of us are called upon to make. All of us wish that we did not have to be in a straitjacket where we had to get out of a deficit of $42 billion.
