Mr. Speaker, the hon. member is saying it is a disaster but if he looks at the figures that his colleague who is asking questions about the G-7 tabled, we have the highest level of economic growth of any of the countries of the G-7.
The result over the past year has been over 430,000 new jobs in Canada. To call that a disaster seems to be turning logic on its head topsy-turvy. We are working hard to put in place an economic framework that will stimulate private jobs.
Eighty thousand jobs have been created in the private sector over the past month. That shows that the stimulus is in the right place and that is the course we are following.
In the meantime we will help those without jobs to get the kind of support and training they need to fit the new kind of economy we are moving into.
