Mr. Speaker, it is interesting to hear this rhetoric.
In 1992 someone who sat exactly there with 1.5 million unemployed, Brian Mulroney, told us not to worry, that Canada had the best job creation record in the G-7.
Now in 1997 with 1.5 million still unemployed someone who sits in the very same chair, the present Prime Minister, is saying: "Don't worry, Canada has the best jobs creation record in the G-7". It is the same old story.
We could not trust Mulroney with that line in 1992. Why in the world should we trust the Prime Minister with the same old line in 1997?
