This could have been avoided had the government given back the $57 billion that has pilfered from the fund since 1990.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2088322\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Why is the minister increasing premiums to be paid into a fund that was plundered for nearly 20 years, money that has yet to be returned? Is he planning to take unemployed workers' money to pay down his deficit again?</p>",
