Mr. Speaker, after getting themselves elected on a promise to create jobs and restore hope, the Liberals have literally broken their promises in the 1995 budget and, like the Tories, they feel that the unemployment problem will only be solved by eliminating the deficit. There are no jobs in the finance minister's two small clouds.
Since we still need over 800,000 jobs in Canada to reach the pre-recession employment rate, how can the Acting Prime Minister justify the total lack of active job creation measures in the budget?
