Mr. Speaker, to deduct money from a person's paycheque for a specific use and then to use it for something completely different would be nothing short of fraudulent, yet that is exactly what the Minister of Finance is proposing to do with the EI surplus.
Will the Minister of Finance agree that using the EI surplus for anything other than income maintenance and training would mean that EI premiums are nothing more than yet another tax on the employers and employees who pay for it?
