Mr. Speaker, my question is also for the Minister of Human Resources Development. I say to him that, for things to go the way he has just said, the past cannot be assumed to guarantee the future.
We were stupefied this morning by the government's announcement of its withdrawal from manpower training and the subsequent end to financial assistance in this area.
Will the minister confirm that, after the three year period, financial assistance for manpower training will end and that the provinces will be forced to assume the cost of it on their own?
