Say the number of jobs that are going to be lost. There is absolutely no accountability for these agencies. There never has been and there never will be as long as they continue to be run the way they have.
We have seen a tremendous growth in the amount of dollars spent on these agencies over the last few years. In 1991-92 WED, since that is the particular agency the hon. member is directing his attention to, had a little over $185 million to dole out. In 1995-96, our current year which is coming to an end at the end of March, it had almost $500 million to dole out, yet we have not seen the positive effect of that. There is so much money taken up in the administrative costs of running these programs they actually kill jobs, not create them.
