Madam Speaker, I must say that I was very disappointed and even shocked to hear the comments of the member who just spoke.
Throughout his speech, we had the impression that he feels the unemployed are lazy people and that making them hungry will somehow help create jobs.
A supermarket recently opened in my riding. It needed to hire 60 people, mostly for part-time jobs. Yet, 2,000 people showed up. It is not true that the unemployed are lazy. What is true, though, is that there are no jobs for people willing to work. Jobs will not be created by making these people hungry.
