Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Human Resources Development.
The document on the human resources investment fund recently submitted by the minister to the program review committee mentions a federal strategy for selling the UI reform in Quebec. It states in part that a tenable position should be identified with regard to Quebec in the referendum context, however unacceptable this position may be to the current government.
Does the minister recognize that this excerpt confirms that he was prepared to table his UI reform during the referendum campaign or even earlier, but that the Prime Minister decided to postpone its tabling till after the referendum in order to hide his intentions from the people of Quebec?
