Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Minister of Human Resources Development, in response to his Quebec counterpart, Louise Harel, confirmed the federal government's intention to maintain a presence in the area of manpower, thus maintaining costly and ineffective overlap and duplication, contrary to the consensus so often expressed in Quebec.
Does the Prime Minister confirm that his Minister of Human Resources Development's position formally contradicts his referendum commitment, reiterated in the throne speech, to withdraw from job training?
