Mr. Speaker, the federal government has deliberately been cruising in neutral since the end of September while waiting for the Quebec referendum results. Major changes to unemployment insurance and old age pensions will soon be introduced, and they will hit people harder than ever before since the inception of these programs.
We are aware of the societal choice being made in Ottawa, thanks to secret documents leaked to the public. We know that this choice is totally inconsistent with Quebec's aspirations in terms of society. The wind of change coming from Ottawa is really a flurry of drastic cuts that has Quebec shivering.
Those who chose to hide the truth from Quebecers will have to take the blame for it.
