Mr. Speaker, we are working very hard on a number of projects with the provinces to reduce duplication and overlap. For instance, we signed four agreements with the provinces to protect UI information and achieve substantial savings in spending on social services in each province.
In fact, I believe Mrs. Blackburn, the Quebec Minister of Income Security, is prepared to review the UI system in order to cut costs for her department. I hope this will be one example of close co-operation between the federal government and the provincial governments on reducing the cost of social services.
