Mr. Speaker, if the hon. member knew anything about the way the program worked rather than just repeating a bunch of mythology and garbage he has heard from other people he would realize that most of the money is coming back by repayable contributions. Western economic development recycles money back into business so we can create jobs. I understand the Reform Party is not interested in jobs, it is not interested in employment and it sure as hell is not interested in western Canada. I can tell you that.
