Mr. Speaker, as has been clearly said in the House before, no decisions have been made.
Whenever it decides this government is committed to balanced budgets. The EI debate is not just about premiums. It about making choices. Canadians may like lower EI premiums but they also want quality health care. They also want reinvestment in programs.
Until that debate is over this government will not make a decision. We have prebudget consultations in front of the finance committee. I invite the hon. member to come, put forward his case and allow the debate to continue.
