Mr. Speaker, I would like to give the member specifics but my timeframe will not allow me to do that.
I did address the question of unemployment. I did address the question of the unacceptable level of youth unemployment which is at 16 per cent. As I mentioned in my speech I also recognize, as I believe the hon. member opposite should recognize, the direct link between deficit reduction which will lead to interest rate reduction and will lead to job creation. That is a sound economic principle. I am sure the member opposite realizes that until we get our fiscal
house in order, businesses will not have the climate in which to create the jobs we need in this country.
We have had a good record of job creation but it has to get better. The unemployment rate of 9.4 per cent is still unacceptable. The youth unemployment rate of 16 per cent is unacceptable. I am convinced the measures we started two budgets ago and that we are continuing with this budget will over time reduce that rate. I am very confident of that.
