Mr. Speaker, my question is simple. How can the parliamentary secretary be proud of his government when he says that there were surpluses, a recession and so on, and that $8 billion came from the employment insurance fund?
About 65% of the workers who contribute do not qualify for employment insurance, a program that is fully funded by them and their employers.
How can the hon. member be proud of his government, considering that it has taken money that belongs to workers? This is where the money comes from.
