Mr. Speaker, there are many questions I would like to answer.
First of all, we clearly show our confidence in Quebecers and in all other Canadians. I think that by giving each unemployed worker a certain amount of money, we give him or her the tools needed to create his or her own job by letting him or her decide which course answers his or her own needs. They can choose the courses that are adapted to the new economy that is emerging in each region.
Decentralization is going directly to these people, to Quebecers. That is decentralization, and that is what the unemployed want. That is what we mean by change: giving people the appropriate programs, according to their own personal needs.
I also want to answer my colleague's second question, about young people finishing high school, professional training, college or university, therefore for all young people. When I finished my studies-and that was not too long ago-my first priority was to find a job. I would rather use examples from my own region. When a young person graduates from school, he or she seeks a job to get experience, to show what he or she can do. This is why with the new programs like services Canada but particularly youth internship, we will tell the young person this: "Listen, you have this much money, go to your employer and tell him that, thanks to the support of the Canadian government, you can subsidize part of your salary, on the condition that he promises to keep you on staff for a certain period of time".
I think we are investing in Quebecers. For too long, we invested in the public service, in obsolete programs or in programs that were not adapted to the real needs of the population. We listen to the population and to the unemployed but, unfortunately, this is not the case of the opposition.
