Mr. Speaker, unless I am mistaken, the Minister of Finance is accusing me of using discretion regarding the proposals made, when he should be the one doing so when it comes to solving these issues.
Does the minister realize that, by refusing to lower UI contributions to the level suggested by the business community, he merrily contradicts his colleague, the Minister of Human Resources Development, he deliberately sacrifices 100,000 jobs, this according to his own figures, and he confirms the
comments made by the vice-president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, who said that the Minister of Finance could not care less about job creation?
