Mr. Speaker, the first program the member mentioned was welfare. Welfare is there, like a lot of government programs are, for those who have found themselves in tough circumstances in life. I fully support that.
Employment insurance is there for people who lose their jobs. It is not there for somebody to use as part of a plan. I fully support that.
As my hon. colleague will know, the previous Liberal government took I believe it was $52 million or $54 million out of the EI fund, which it had no right to do, and it put it in the general coffers.
Those programs are in place and I fully support them.
