Mr. Speaker, we made it very clear that we are prepared to provide cost sharing over a five-year period and that it is the jurisdiction of the provinces to decide how that money would be allocated. I am simply waiting for a response. I am not trying to be quick witted but it takes effort when dealing with Bloc questions.
The provinces make these decisions. I want to ensure we can provide, as we do in many other areas, a national response so we can share and pool our resources to ensure areas with fewer resources are considered. That is why I took some interest today in the minister of employment in Quebec when she talked about totally fragmenting the national unemployment insurance service for Quebecers. It would put at risk thousands upon thousands of Quebec workers who would no longer have access to a national unemployment insurance program.
