Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask my colleague to comment on the following.
It seems to me there is one commonality between what is happening here and what has happened to the EI fund, namely, the government is raiding a surplus. In the case of the EI fund, it took the money away from employers and employees and it has absolutely no intention of giving it back. It just brings it into general revenue. Now it is raiding this fund.
I would like the hon. member to comment on how those two situations are similar and on any differences he might detect in them.
