Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to direct my question to the Minister of Finance. The Minister of Finance should be aware of Bill C-113, which is presently going through the various stages of passage in the House of Commons. The bill would radically alter many aspects of the unemployment insurance plan. My honourable colleague for Thebacha asked the Premier about this matter on February 17, 1993, and was told that the Department of Finance was evaluating the effect of the new unemployment insurance plan. Mr. Speaker, my concern is for the seasonal workers such as surveyors, fire fighters, fishermen, et cetera. Can the Minister of Finance tell the House whether his department has completed its analysis of the impact that this federal legislation will have on northern workers?
