Mr. Speaker, I did not say to spend more money. As a matter of fact these programs have an effect of costing taxpayers more money.
I have a supplementary question. Recently the government has begun the very difficult job of trying to reduce the dependency cycle of thousands of east coast fishermen. The history of these make-work projects in Canada has been a series of failures. I had hoped that the 1970 tactics had gone out with the last election.
Why is the minister now planning to introduce thousands more young Canadians to a dependency cycle with yet another make-work program?
