Mr. Speaker, bureaucratic explanations are not what we want, we want to see the government doing something to create jobs. Here is a golden opportunity to lower premium rates, lower payroll taxes, which do nothing but kill jobs, and create these jobs. Instead of that, I get a bureaucratic answer. In the 1994 budget, the Minister of Finance said himself that lowering unemployment insurance premiums by 7 per cent would result in the creation of 40,000 jobs.
I put the question to the Deputy Prime Minister, to the government, or to whomever is at the helm: When are you going to take action?
