The "EI fund" was always a myth anyway.

When EI (then UI) was first formed it was supposed to have an actual fund with real money to back it.  Only problem is the benefits paid quickly started exceeding the benefits collected by a vast amount, so the "fund" was bankrupt from very early on.  In the 1980's the "fund", which had no money in it, was abolished.

Under Chretien's Liberals the EI tax (and, to be clear, Canada's EI is very definitely a tax and NOT an employment insurance program) was kept artificially high while benefits were slashed.  The result was that the tax brought in far more revenue than the social programs loosely attached to it, but as with all taxes the money just goes into general revenue.  There was a paper calculation of how much money would be in an "EI Fund" if such a fund were to exist, but there was never so much as a dime in any such fund.
