I don't accept the arithmetic, I can tell you that. There have been significant job losses in manufacturing in Quebec, in Ontario, and elsewhere in Canada. The good news is that those job losses have been absorbed in the economy; people are getting other jobs. There's a strong service sector, as you know, in the Canadian economy, a strong service sector in Quebec and in Ontario as well. The funds are designed primarily to help people adjust and get new jobs, including older workers.
I give your party credit for pushing that subject. We didn't do exactly what was proposed by the Bloc Québécois—that's true—but we did create a program that is of some assistance.
The economy changes, and this is not something that is abnormal, to have economic change and to have people in need of retraining. The important thing for governments, it seems to me, is to make sure we have the retraining programs in place, to make sure we work with the provinces in terms of helping people adjust.
