Mr. Speaker, it is quite clear, as the Minister of Human Resources Development said, that what we really want is to create a springboard for job creation. That is the basic purpose of these reforms. The minister said that the money would be reinvested in proactive programs in order to put Quebecers and Canadians back to work.
Now I would like to ask the hon. member, who keeps talking about hidden agendas, why the Bloc, why the separatist movement refused to publish a study by Georges Mathews which shows that the deficit will triple. Why will the Bloc Quebecois and the PQ not put the partnership offer on the table? Because it is an empty shell? Because they are not sincere?
Mr. Speaker, yes, there is a hidden agenda, the agenda of a separatist movement that is afraid of the truth.
