Mr. Speaker, EI reforms are long overdue. This is something we need to do, and to do permanently, not just temporarily.
Liberal and Conservative governments have used the EI fund as a surplus slush fund, and I am curious as to whether the member thinks the fund should be completely independent so that money paid into it by workers is insurance money that can only be used by workers. That way, we could expand programs and make them more accessible to all those who could really use help through EI.
