Mr. Speaker, the finance minister has said that a $2.40 EI premium is his comfort zone, but the chief actuary of Canada said that his comfort zone is a $2.05 premium, the same comfort zone as the Reform Party and millions of Canadian workers and businesses.
Why do the Prime Minister and his finance minister not just enter into the comfort zone of working Canadians and lower the EI premiums to $2.05? Why do they not do that?
