Mr. Speaker, I would like to read part of an article written by Mr. Alain Dubuc in La Presse , a highly respected newspaper in Quebec.
-first, we must commend the Liberal government and minister Axworthy. They are the first ones to tackle head-on the interrelated problems of economic slump and social assistance.
This article shows how independent observers, not partisan ones, support our government's efforts to develop a new approach towards poverty, unemployment and the problems of the poor in our country.
