Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his rather lengthy question.
With respect to fraudulent claims, discussions with my constituents in Provencher regarding both employer and employee contributions allowed me to conclude quite categorically that whether it was farm people who hired part time workers to work for them in the summertime who might claim unemployment insurance following that, or whether it was people in the northern part of the riding in the forestry industry, both the employers and the employees, indeed all Canadians, are concerned about the fraudulent use of taxpayer dollars.
The other point I would like to make very quickly to the member is with respect to job creation. Even in his own province, the member might want to look at the self-employed component of this job creation package and the fact that many of the women who find themselves unemployed in the province of Quebec may find a venue through that system.
