Madam Speaker, it is ironic that my colleague does not feel that a nurse, a doctor and a teacher are relevant jobs and are not needed.
As I reiterated in my address to the motion, I come from a part of the country that has the highest rate of unemployment in the country. Over the last two years 700 individuals in the health care system have lost their jobs due to the cuts by the government. My colleague is saying that they are not important jobs. I invite him to come to Cape Breton and talk to the gentlemen who wishes he had that nurse to look after his wife. That is the problem.
The Reform are not making the government accountable for what it is doing to the country.
