Mr. Speaker, it is becoming abundantly clear that the Reform Party simply does not understand even the measures that were taken in the past budget by the Minister of Finance.
The Minister of Finance has already reduced payroll taxes. Measures that will be announced later on by the minister will speak to the issue of job creation, which is an important and fundamental pillar of the jobs and growth agenda. Not only has this government created over 500,000 jobs, but we are modernizing the delivery services. We are engaging the private sector, working together in partnership with the government through things like national
sectoral councils and youth internship programs, which have created over 30,000 jobs for young people.
We are modernizing the system and we are creating the climate that will speak to the issue of job creation.
