Mr. Speaker, the minister was into his usual rhetoric, but I would remind him that the figures I just mentioned were computed directly on the basis of his own figures, assuming that he meets the objectives he has set, however inadequate they may be.
I want to ask him how he can deny the federal government's very obvious inflexibility, when we consider the $5 billion tax on employment, and I am referring to the surplus created by excessively high UI premiums, which the government will use to fund new incursions into the area of manpower training, instead of reducing UI premiums to stimulate job creation.
