Mr. Speaker, again I think the member is encumbered with a lot of rhetoric and misapprehension of the facts as they exist.
As I said in my speech, it was that member and all of his friends across the way who wanted the Government of Canada to keep its nose out of their affairs during the time leading up to the referendum in Quebec.
In response to the concerns of people in Quebec and all across the country the Prime Minister made a commitment at the end of last year. He stated that the Government of Canada would withdraw from labour market training, apprenticeship programs, co-operative education programs and so on. This seems to be exactly what the member opposite was saying, that we should let the government that is in the best position to understand local needs design the programs. This has been delivered on.
I know the member is full of fuss and bother this afternoon but it has nothing to do with any failure of this government to deliver on those promises.
