Mr. Speaker, as I have said several times now, the proposed employment insurance legislation has not been finalized. It has not been presented to cabinet. The hon. member would be well advised not to pay attention to any documents various groups have of what they think we will be presenting.
The hon. member should be looking at the fact that since taking office the government has introduced major new employment programs for young people. This year alone we will provide funding for partnerships with the private sector and with various school boards, including many in Quebec, to provide a brand new opportunity for over 25,000 young people to get the experience of moving from school to work, the vital bridge between formal education and work experience education.
We are committed to helping young people. We are not only committed but the actions we have initiated have shown how successful they can be.
