Mr. Speaker, a specific answer would be that all economic regions of the country are not the same. Whether one is in Gaspé, Vegreville or Haliburton, there is a difference in the areas, a difference in the needs and a difference in the qualifications required. Some have to work in seasonal jobs in a seasonal market in a certain area. I can go into Haliburton in my area and find 30 per cent unemployment in the winter because it is a seasonal, tourist oriented job market. It is improving. Winter sports are coming on. There are some good ski hills. There are cross-country trails. Things happen there in the winter that are drawing more people in.
I do not think we can compare that with the city of Toronto, Vegreville, Elk Island, or any other area. The area has to be taken into consideration on its needs. The program has to suit the area, not the area suit the program. I hope that answers the hon. member's question.
