Mr. Speaker, I have two responses.
First, the hon. member is wrong in suggesting this is a cabinet document. There is no document. In fact I have never signed that kind of a document and I have not presented to cabinet my proposals for reform.
I know what the separatists are trying to do: they are trying to manufacture something out of a document. But I can say to the hon. member that he should not be using that kind of speculative paper as the basis for any kind of argument because it is simply not based in fact.
Second, I would point out to the hon. member that included in the changes we brought in last year was a special measure that would provide direct assistance to the lowest-income UI users. As a result of that reform, over 400,000 Canadians, including over 100,000 Quebecers, are receiving an additional $1,000 a year. This shows our commitment to help the lowest-income people in this country.
