Mr. Speaker, the figures released last Friday show that over the past two months 115,000 new jobs were created in Canada. Most important and what we can take some confidence in is that 75 per cent of those jobs were full-time jobs.
I share the hon. member's concern about the real problem this country's young people face. One of the reasons we have started a major recasting of many of the programs is so that we can specifically target the needs of young people.
In this case the Prime Minister was certainly correct when he said that generally the economy is improving as a result of the new sense of confidence Canadians have as a consequence of this government's actions.
At the same time we are also aware of the need to begin to deal adequately with youth unemployment. If the hon. member can show some patience for a day or two I think he will see the
beginning of a very serious attack on that problem by this government.
