Mr. Speaker, it is music to my ears to hear my colleague opposite say that once the budget is balanced, they will give the money back to the people it belongs to. Am I to understand that the Conservative government is finally telling us that it will stop dipping into the employment insurance fund to reduce its deficit and pay for the initiatives it wants to put forward and, as of next year, the employment insurance contributions of employers and workers will be used for workers who have lost their job and those people they are directly intended for?
