Mr. Speaker, what my minister is trying to do now is to reach an agreement with the provinces. They asked for time to study in more detail the best ways to help people go back to work and that is our priority. We want people to return to work and have the dignity of doing a job and the satisfaction of supporting their family. That is why the Department of Human Resources Development is negotiating and discussing with the provinces now, because like them, we have programs and we prefer to find a solution that will suit the provinces and the federal government.
We want people to be able to retrain and to prepare themselves so that they can earn their living honourably.
