I want to give Mr. Céré the opportunity to answer that, but first of all, I would like to say that 61% of Canadians are living from week to week. They are surviving on that week's pay. In the case of the unemployed, there is a 60% chance that we are talking about people who have not set any money aside and who live from week to week. Therefore, when they lose their jobs, they have no money saved. They are not putting this money into the bank; they are participating in the economy immediately by buying food, paying their rent or their mortgage, and putting gas in their car in order to look for new employment. In my riding, people need a car in order to look for work because there is no public transportation. So they need money to go job hunting. Thus, the money is poured immediately back into the economy.
I would like Mr. Céré to be able to comment.
