Mr. Speaker, echoing the chief actuary, the auditor general yesterday asked the federal government to state clearly what it intended to do with the large EI surplus, which is up to $21 billion. In their view, a reserve of $10 billion would be quite sufficient for the needs of the system.
Does the minister intend to take a page from her predecessor's book and turn a deaf ear not just to unemployed workers and the Bloc Quebecois, but also to the auditor general, who is asking her to take a reasonable approach to the management of the EI fund?
