Mr. Speaker, last night 1,500 people paid $500 each to attend the prime minister's exclusive fund-raising dinner. I do not suppose many of them spend much time worrying about minor things like the Canada pension plan or unemployment.
However, for ordinary Canadians things just got a little rougher. The national unemployment rate climbed back up to 9.1%. There were 104,000 fewer Canadians working in October than in the month before that, which means 104,000 families are facing serious trouble.
Canadians see the golf clubs, the caviar and the champagne so where are the job, jobs, jobs?
