Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague opposite. He had a lot to say about cost recovery, transparency and money the government has to spend. I have a simple question for him about unemployment insurance.
When there is a $2 billion surplus, and regions such as ours will be penalized significantly because of distances, how does he explain the transparency of the Department of Human Resources Development, which does not use the extra $2 billion to provide more services for its clientele? It is not transparent as regards other budget items because we cannot find out why it does not use this extra money to keep the people needed in the regions to give training courses or simply provide services.
