text: The legislation was in 1951 (which is what I claimed) and the program was implemented in 1952.
  Again you cannot claim something doesn't exist just because you are unable to find proof of it.
  And why do you keep ignoring the simple fact that your claim about EI/UI was:
  "All governments ... have treated EI premiums as general revenue. There was never any "money saved"."
  The key word in your claim being NEVER and I have provided evidence that the plan was in fact run separately, self-financing, generating surpluses. Those surpluses, in the billions each year, were accumulated (saved) in the program account which was completely financially separate from the other government accounts, just as the CPP accounts are. During that period UI/EI premiums were not treated as general revenue. So there was a period when your claim is untrue and thus your use of the word NEVER is wrong.
  If you are going to ignore actual facts that contradict your claims there is little to discuss.
