Mr. Speaker, I think that there have been a number of recent changes to the EI plan the hon. member does not want to mention. As far as premiums go, as I have already said, they have been reduced for eight years running, so that employees and employers are now paying $6.8 billion less. That is important.
It is not only on the premium side. Recently we have had three changes on the payment side which the hon. member has neglected to mention. We have enhanced parental benefits, made small weeks a permanent national feature and repealed the intensity rules. We have had substantial reform to employment insurance both on the benefit side and the premium side.
