Mr. Speaker, 12 months ago the government introduced the $1.9 billion Atlantic groundfish strategy. First the government underestimated the groundfish stock and the number of people who would be thrown out of work. Next it underestimated the staff needed to process the claims and counsel the unemployed. Now
I understand that the government has underestimated the amount of money required for TAGS by some $385 million.
Could the Minister of Human Resources Development assure the House that this program will stay within its already hugely inflated budget?
