Mr. Speaker, to respond briefly, I would say that hope must be kept alive. It is not true that there can be no future; we must take the future into our own hands and do something with it.
I think that if the government was really serious about developing the regions of Quebec and Canada while reforming unemployment insurance, it would have implemented economic diversification policies so that we do not end up in the same situation as the Institut Maurice-Lamontagne in Sainte-Flavie, which is cutting jobs in research and development as UI standards are being tightened. This is an unacceptable contradiction. This is a message of hopelessness for young people.
A message of hope would be to tell everyone they are committed, to share their hopes for the future with their political representatives, and to elect governments that will make choices and give priority to job creation so that they can be proud of their future professional achievements.
