Mr. Speaker, it is time we went through a reality check with the hon. member for Mercier.
On April 6 in the House the member for Mercier claimed there would be tens of thousands of people coming on the welfare rolls in Quebec. In August I received a document from the Government of Quebec that pointed out the number of people on welfare had been reduced, not increased.
On June 22 the member for Mercier claimed that as we were reorganizing the department and decentralizing we would reduce Canada Employment Centres in Quebec to 28. What we announced was 78 Canada Employment Centres in Quebec.
Any document sent in by this member has absolutely no credibility.
