Mr. Speaker, it is always strange to hear a Liberal member say such things. We heard a lot today about accountability, about being responsible for expenditures, about the agreement, the fine print saying that from now on provinces are taking responsibility for spending the additional funds they receive, or will receive in the next budget, for health care.
He spoke about fairs in his riding and about how the money in the budget should be spent. They should do the same for employment insurance.
Is the member ready to make the same commitment that the provinces made for health care, and apply it to employment insurance, that every dollar paid into employment insurance stay in the employment insurance fund? It will be the workers who will benefit from it. Could the same philosophy not apply to programs that have an effect on the everyday life of Canadians?
