Madam Speaker, I have worked in the field as a social worker, and I know how important the employment insurance program is as a safety net. It has actually expanded over the years, as it started as something very basic after World War II, then over time it has continued to be used. There are mandatory contributions to make sure the fund is healthy and well funded. We never know when we are going to be in need. Any one of us could be in that situation at any given time. There is reform that needs to be done. I am confident, with the evolution that we have seen to date, that that reform is forthcoming.
