Mr. Speaker, it is time the minister understood the basis for these statistics. The increase in the number of people on welfare is calculated from year to year. And from year to year, we see 20,000 people more on welfare. I would like to table this report in the House after a while.
Does the minister acknowledge that it is entirely unacceptable that, during a period of so-called prosperity, the number of people on welfare in Quebec increases by 20,000 in a single year, as the minister prepares to introduce new reforms that will increase this number considerably?
