Madam Speaker, I do not think my question was really answered.
I wanted to know whether the government will ensure that none of the money paid into the fund will be allocated to the debt. We are asking the question because the funds collected should be used as employment insurance and people should have access to this or other programs to help them get back to work.
I will repeat the question. Can the hon. member assure us that, with this budget, no EI premiums will be allocated to the debt?
