Madam Speaker, there is no question that the transport minister's responses and comments tend to inflame Quebeckers. They also probably create a bit of antagonism for other national parties here in the House.
His colleague, the member for Scarborough—Guildwood, mentioned in a response to the member from the Bloc that somehow the additional dollars that must be transferred to the unemployed are like extra money that must go into those particular provinces.
Does he think it is acceptable for the government to use, as general revenue, the dollars that workers and employers pay into EI? Does he not think that there should be a more transparent and honest use of the dollars that go into EI to provide benefits to workers and employers?
