Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have an opportunity to ask the member a question.
I noticed, in reading the committee's report, that it went out of its way to quote the member directly on the subject he addressed at the end of his speech which dealt with the structural differences with respect to unemployment. The report at page 15 quotes the hon. member, who is the finance critic for the Reform Party. It says that the hon. member stated that structural differences were causing higher unemployment in Canada and that these included unemployment insurance, minimum wage rates and the degree of unionization. Those were the three that were mentioned in the report. I do not know whether the member mentioned any others during the committee hearings.
I want to make sure that I am very clear on his theory. It would seem to me from what is in the report and from what I have heard that the member is suggesting that we as a nation pursue a policy of restricting access to unemployment insurance, restricting minimum wages or lowering them so that people are not able to get unemployment insurance and have to accept lower minimum wages, and restricting people's rights to organize unions and to enter into collective bargaining negotiations. He is suggesting that if we did all of those things as a country, it would mean we would have lower unemployment.
Is the member suggesting that as the route to getting increased employment in Canada?
