Mr. Speaker, the premium was supposed to be $3.30 when we formed the government. Now it is at $2.20, so we have done very well.
To help the hon. member of Parliament on the other side, I would like to quote what the Reform Party said:
To ensure that savings from the reform of UI translate into deficit elimination the Reform Party recommends the establishment of a permanent reserve fund for UI...Funds from this reserve would be applied against the deficit.
This is on page 46 of the taxpayers' budget written by the former leader of the opposition in 1995.
