Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question, because it raise a very important issue. We have a comprehensive vision, and I wish the hon. member could understand that. Our vision involves several objectives on which we have to work. We cannot work on only one objective at a time.
As far as the small businesses are concerned, you can laugh all you want and you may not be proud of the fact that 30 per cent of small businesses are headed by a woman, but I am. Even if these women do not have access to all the capital they need, they do represent a very important proportion of business owners.
Second, in order to help our young people, men and women alike, we must make sure that there will be a bridging system.
A bridging system between education and the workforce would equally handle men and women leaving the universities and the campuses. It says right in our red book, which I suggest the member read, and in the budget that there is a very important undertaking in which it will be equal and interesting for women as well as men.
There is another whole area in which we see the disenchantment of young people. We are undertaking a youth initiatives program. I sincerely hope that those school dropouts, along with the literacy programs, will ensure that Canada as we move into the telecommunications age, as we have already moved into the telecommunications age, will have the best trained, the best intellectual material out there and the most competent workforce so that we can stay number one.
After I travel and come back to Canada I can kiss the ground it is so wonderful. When I go to Montreal, c'est magnifique à Montréal.
