Mr. Speaker, the Ontario premier joined his Quebec and Saskatchewan counterparts in rejecting the social program reform as proposed by the Minister of Human Resources Development.
The Ontario premier went as far as describing the document tabled yesterday as an insult to all provinces and all Canadians, nothing less. Clearly, this government's obsession with making the most destitute pay is contrary to the people's wishes.
Within 24 hours, three provinces representing two thirds of the Canadian population have already opposed this reform. It is about time this government listened to Canadians and proposed solutions which answer their needs.
