Mr. Speaker, just to make sure we have the facts clear, in the province of Quebec in the month of August the social assistance rolls dropped by 13,000. So when the hon. member says that nothing is being done to help them, we are investing.
I would remind him that just last summer we signed an agreement worth $80 million with the Government of Quebec to help people on social assistance, including young people, to get jobs, to get training, to get back in the market. That is something that did not happen under the previous administration, of which the hon. leader of the opposition was a member. We were able to do it. We were able to get an agreement and we are helping 25,000 Quebecers get back to work today because of that agreement.
