Mr. Speaker, the government acts with regard to the total health of the government's finances. If one looks at what has happened over the last five years, not only have we had the largest reductions in EI premiums in the history of EI, but at the same time we have reduced income taxes by some $16.5 billion, and last year we made the largest investment in this government's history back into health care. That is what we are in the process of doing.
