Mr. Speaker, as the hon. member should know, last Friday Statistics Canada released its latest job report. It pointed out that for the first time in six years the jobless rate had dropped to below 10 per cent; in fact it is 9.6 per cent.
Much more important, in the last 11 months 414,000 full time jobs have been created. That is the fastest growing job rate of
any industrial country in the world. The unemployment rate for young people dropped a full two percentage points during the same period of time.
We are living up to our commitment to create jobs. If the hon. member would go back to her own riding and look at it, she would see that the job rate dropped over the past 11 months by 3.1 per cent. It is now below 9 per cent. That is real job creation.
