Mr. Speaker, when we started the premium rate was $3.07 scheduled to go to $3.30. Instead, as we speak it is $2.10 scheduled to go to $1.98 next year.
I do not know what the hon. member is complaining about. What we have seen is a steady and continuous reduction in EI premium rates. We have benefited employers and employees while we have done so. At the same time we have reduced overall taxes and charges by $100 billion.
