Monsieur le Président, il y a plusieurs programmes qui fonctionnent bien.
One of the better programs is the community futures development program. In the last fiscal year it provided over 2,000 loans, created more than 6,000 jobs and provided information on loans, counselling and business plans to over 250,000 western Canadians. This is a loans program which is operated by local people, many of whom are volunteers. And Mr. Speaker, it works.
