Mr. Speaker, once again I point out that 268,000 new jobs have been created.
There is no doubt that it is true employment fell slightly in October, but this followed seven consecutive months of solid job growth.
Month to month fluctuations in employment estimates are not unusual. We have to look at the long term trend in employment over longer periods.
In fact the policies of the government have been very effective in ensuring that those employment numbers have gone up. We will continue to ensure that the employment numbers improve. The government is committed to that.
