Mr. Speaker, I am not sure where the hon. member is getting his figures from. What the prime minister said in the Atlantic visions conference was basically that the government supports Atlantic Canada in every way and will do the best it can for its recovery.
With respect to ACOA, I can spout a lot of statistics here but I want to inform the House that in its relatively short existence, ACOA has provided just short of 100,000 jobs, and I think that speaks for itself.
