Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the hon. member's presentation. The member from the Reform Party, the hon. member from Saskatoon and I are all from western Canada.
The Reform Party spoke about equity and fairness and pointed out, rightly, job growth in western Canada. I would like to ask the member from the NDP whether he agreed that weeks worked to be eligible for unemployment insurance in Manitoba ought to be the same as other areas in western Canada, for example, in Alberta.
