It is a pity, Mr. Speaker, that I will have to put my question in writing because I was unable to get an answer.
Since it is becoming increasingly obvious that, within four years, Quebec will no longer receive any money from Ottawa for social program funding-I repeat, social program funding-how can the minister justify his plans to set up new structures and implement new manpower training initiatives that will increase duplication, when these structures and initiatives are to be funded from surpluses in the UI fund, to which Ottawa will no longer contribute as much as a penny?
