Mr. Speaker, is the minister trying to wash his hands of the whole thing? This Parliament has approved $2.4 billion in cuts to unemployment insurance for all of Canada this year, including $735 million in Quebec. Do you think this has no effect on the men, women and young people who end up on welfare?
Will the minister admit that the next UI reform, which he is getting ready to table in the coming weeks, will aggravate the Quebec government's financial problems by forcing even more unemployed people onto welfare?
