Mr. Speaker, as a mater of fact, quite a number of jobs have been created as a result of the Federal Office of Regional Development's activities. I can tell you that whenever I visit one of the 13 FORD-Q offices in Quebec, and meet business people, I meet individuals who have created jobs thanks to the federal office's activities.
Indeed, if there were problems with program evaluation, the department recognized them and this is the reason why we changed our programming and the way we operate. I do accept the member's congratulations on our new programming.
