Mr. Speaker, when the minister tells us there is a surplus, first of all, there is none in his budget. Second, the Minister of Human Resources Development tells us that it has all been spent.
I ask him again: if there is no more money set aside, if there is nothing in the fund, is he going to raise premiums, reduce benefits, or create deficits? It has to be one of these three. Otherwise, his answers do not hold up. There is no more money left in the fund, and according to him there is apparently a zero deficit and no surplus.
Let him give us an answer, then.
