Mr. Speaker, I just want to give my friend a rest.
I would be very happy to answer the hon. member because I think the logic is very clear. We have announced in the budget a clear stimulant for job creation. By reducing the premiums on the unemployment insurance rate we will be putting in place the creation and maintenance of over 40,000 jobs in the country. That is what we were elected to do. It is the beginning of a real changeover as to how we can go from a system which would rather have people on UI than have people in jobs.
I ask the hon. member to now commit himself, the party and all Canadians to help redesign the programs of unemployment insurance, the Canada assistance plan, employment, training and education so that the start we made yesterday can be continued throughout the next year and we can have a brand new system of employment and social security so that we can get hundreds of thousands of Canadians back to work.
