Mr. Speaker, the only statistic that people are going to remember is that, last year, the government implemented $675 million in cuts to the unemployment insurance fund, that this year's cuts amount to $2.4 billion and that it plans to cut $3.5 billion in the next. That is what people are going to remember.
My second question is also for the Minister of Finance. Will he admit that he is condemning thousands of families to despair by denying them unemployment insurance benefits and is once again offloading his financial problems onto the provinces by forcing them to spend larger amounts on welfare?
