Mr. Speaker, what happened to the Liberals of 1988 to 1993? When they were on this side of the House they made the same speech that I made today.
What happened to Doug Young when he said they had to fight against changes to employment insurance because it would be a disaster for New Brunswick? He knew at that time we had seasonal work. I have said that many times in the House of Commons. It is the same thing for Nova Scotia. We cannot get codfish under Sainte-Catherine Street in Montreal. We cannot cut trees in the middle of Yonge Street in Toronto. This work is done at home by the seasonal workers. The Liberals said that they would not cut EI, that they would not do it.
I am not saying the government should go to a big expense, but I am saying stop scaring the working people. It is fair to say that. The Liberals when they were in opposition made the same speech as the one I made today. The Prime Minister made the same speech too.
Do not take it out on the small people. Work on the economy and put people back to work. That is what will create a good environment for Canadians. That is what was said.
