Mr. Speaker, what is despicable on the part of the government is that it only implements the auditor general's recommendations that it likes. This is what the government does.
The Deputy Prime Minister, who has been here a long time, must know that it is possible to set up an independent employment insurance fund, as is the case with the CSST in Quebec, and to have that fund accounted for by the government.
Does the Deputy Prime Minister not find it a disgrace that his government is going along with an interpretation whereby it is the unemployed, those who are truly in need, who are paying off the government's debt? It is outrageous.
