Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Human Resources Development.
One of the warnings given to the minister in a confidential draft on the communications strategy regarding the social program reform, which was made public yesterday by a member of Parliament, reads as follows:
"UI cuts seen by the population as evidence that government wants to fight the deficit on the backs of the poor".
Under the circumstances, will the minister tell us if the delay in tabling his action plan is the result of a split among cabinet ministers regarding what is at stake, as suggested in a recommendation from the same report which proposes this strategy: "-demonstrate Cabinet solidarity on socio-economic agenda"?
