Madam Speaker, I have two comments that might lead into questions with regard to co-op housing. The federal government has decided not to shirk responsibility in the province of Ontario. How does the member explain that we got rid of co-op housing for Manitoba and other provinces but what we do in Ontario I guess is a little bit different from what we do anywhere else in Canada. If it was okay in Ontario, why was it not okay somewhere else?
With regard to the singing and praising of the budget and how things are so much better and we do not have a problem with the EI or anything like this, I wonder how the member feels about moneys for employment insurance. People who are working pay money into employment insurance expecting that should they be out of a job that money is going to be there for employment insurance. Then they find out that the government thinks it is a-okay, correcto, to spend it on this, that and something else.
What about the trust the government has broken with the people who have put that money in? Whether it be employers or employees they expect that that money is there for employment insurance. The surplus the government is dealing with is dollars that it took irresponsibly and, for lack of a better word, misrepresented why it was taking that money from Canadians.
