Mr. Speaker, first of all, it should be clear to the hon. member, who was a part of the government for most of that period, that during the period in question this government created more jobs than England, France, Germany and Italy combined.
It is also true that there are still too many Canadians who cannot find work. As far as I am concerned and as long as I am a member of Parliament, if there is one person in the riding of Hamilton East who wants to work and cannot, then I have more work to do.
