He does not realize the magnitude of the issue either.
The Auditor General's name has been mentioned. The Auditor General has said three times now, “People, this is not working. The surpluses are too high. Where is the money going?”
I want to ask a question. The statistics presented to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts were quite clear on this point. Money from the unemployed and SMEs goes toward the Liberal government's debt.
Will the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance have the courage today to admit that the government is relying strictly on the employment insurance fund surpluses to pay down the debt and also to pay all its little hangers-on?
