Mr. Speaker, what I find somewhat regrettable about the opposition party's stand is that right now,
there are 400,000 unemployed workers in Quebec. The federal government is working with the provinces to find a way that would enable the unemployed to receive training that would lead to employment.
Instead of complaining that we are trying to achieve a consensus, instead of criticizing us for our decision to take some more time in order to make the best possible decisions, the spokesperson for the opposition should be congratulating us for seeking the co-operation of all provinces. That is why we have decided, not to cancel the meeting, but only to postpone it until we are certain that we have achieved this consensus.
