Harper's revenue neutral plan

The Liberal war room put this bug in my ear —

This morning, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced an extension of the employment insurance program so that self-employed workers could opt in and qualify for parental leave benefits.

Harper explained that there would be no direct cost to taxpayers as the value of benefits paid would be roughly the same as the value of premiums paid.

So I guess that would be “revenue neutral”, then?
