Mr. Speaker, if the hon. member would read the book he would know that last spring the federal government had already tabled a new interim proposal on manpower training with every province that would provide the transfer of the purchase of training to the provinces. It would provide for the development of guichets uniques, single co-locations the provinces would initiate that would transfer several programs related to education under the management of the provinces and would have a joint planning priority wherein the provinces would have a direct role in the planning of federal programs in those provinces.
We said that was the first major step toward decentralizing the management of manpower training programs across the country. When we complete this reform and see more directly what the programs are then we can discuss further. It seems to me that is a positive first step toward giving the provinces more responsibility in the area of manpower training.
I would ask the hon. member whether he is prepared to support that or not.
