Mr. Speaker, I think it is easy to interpret the minister's remarks. In any case, the document is correct in that there will be no transfer of officials, authority or resources.
Finally, the bottom line for both ministers is that the same 25 provincial and 27 federal programs will now be administered in the same building, so the client does not have far to go to be utterly confused.
I want to ask the Prime Minister, who must be aware of the contradictions here, whether he realizes that by refusing to transfer federal responsibility for manpower training to Quebec, he is perpetuating an annual waste of $300 million, at the expense of Quebec's unemployed, of whom 20,000 are still
waiting to register for training courses that could help them improve their chances of getting back to work?
