Mr. Speaker, the member needs to go to a math upgrade class because the increases to the CPP have offset any reductions in EI, and he knows that full well.
The former finance minister has said that he is running to become Prime Minister because he wants to bring integrity back to government. Well, his idea of integrity has been to balance the books on the backs of hard-working Canadians who pay inflated EI premiums.
Since the current finance minister is running against his old rival, will he undo the damage of the past 10 years to hard-working Canadians and immediately slash EI premiums?
