Mr. Speaker, is the minister aware that there has been no federal-provincial conference since January 1993, that is to say, since the minister has been in charge of this important portfolio, while the provinces have been hard hit by the decisions made, especially with respect to unemployment insurance?
Far from trying to get out of job training, as demanded by all stakeholders in Quebec, does the minister not intend mainly to make the UI fund bear the costs of training not only the unemployed but also welfare recipients?
