Now let's pick up on Mr. Jean's line of questioning.
I am referring to the 67,000 jobs that were not created. In fact, it's a matter of falling short of the full job creation potential under the 2012-13 budget measures and not meeting those targets by 2016-17. Is that correct?
Mr. Jean was making it sound as though the 900,000 jobs created since the depths of the recession in 2009 were almost entirely due to government measures. The reality is that a large chunk of those created jobs—since we were in the depths of the recession—were restored naturally, without the government's intervention. Am I right?
