Unfortunately, Mr. Speaker, the only losers in this scandal are the people living in high unemployment regions.
I believe that this program can work if we take the political influence out of it. I myself learned through the media that the regional minister at the time had approved and announced $80,000 in TJ funds against my own recommendation. That company has since then closed and no jobs were created.
We need job creation programs, but we do not need the abuse of the government. What will the minister do to make sure the abuse stops?
