Mr. Speaker, with respect to the hon. member, I do not know what is gained by trying to play off a set of figures that he says the Quebec premier has versus a set of figures that the Minister of Finance has.
The real issues which should be at the centre of the hon. member's question is how do we create jobs for everybody and how do we get unemployment down. It is not how we play games about what one premier in one region says versus what happens in the another region. It is about time members of the opposition in both parties took a national perspective on these issues.
