Mr. Speaker, the minister could have said it is snowing today, because what he has just told me has nothing to do with the question.
If there is no more money, if the fund is empty, if the employment insurance surpluses have been spent, what does the Minister of Finance propose to do in the event of a recession?
Will he return to a deficit situation? Will he again cut benefits to the unemployed or will he increase employers' and employees' contributions to the employment insurance fund? If there is no more money, what solution will the minister choose?
