Mr. Speaker, I suppose that kind of answer sold pretty well last night at the prime minister's shindig. I bet it sounded good somewhere right around the Dom Perignon.
Ordinary Canadians, the kind of people the government seems to forget about, are now in the 85th consecutive month of high unemployment, seven solid years of unemployment above 9%. Is this the best the Liberals can offer unemployed people? Are Canadians really sentenced to 9% unemployment forever or just until the government is replaced?
