Mr. Speaker, the government of Ontario has called the EI surplus “staggering excess taxation” and “a money grab”.
Two-thirds of the surplus comes from Ontario workers and the best the government can do is a measly five cent cut in premiums. That means there will still be a $6 billion annual money grab from workers by the federal government with Ontario workers footing most of the bill.
When will the government stop its excess taxation and let workers keep the money that rightfully belongs to them?
