Mr. Speaker, as I understand it, the Quebec consensus is very clear. I agree with the hon. member. It is in this context that I and the Government of Canada want to be sure we do not sit down to another failure at the negotiating table.
But, as the hon. member might agree, dealing with active measures can be very complicated. As far as manpower is concerned, I agree with the hon. member that we have already said we would indeed withdraw.
As for the other elements, commonly referred to as Part II of the Employment Insurance Act, it is a very complex matter because the needs across the country vary widely. We are familiar with Quebec's demands, and that is why we will go much further than simply withdrawing from the area of training. We want to look at all these other elements the hon. member was referring to.
Once we sit down at the negotiating table, I can assure the hon. member that the Government of Canada will put forward a straightforward proposal that, I hope, will meet the demands made by Quebec and all the other provinces.
