Mr. Speaker, when we look at the next section of the government's election document it says: "Liberal policies at work".
Maybe their policies are at work but certainly Canadians are not at work. Right now we have 1.4 million unemployed Canadians, almost exactly what it was when the government came to power. There is 20 per cent plus unemployment in Cape Breton and Newfoundland. The national youth unemployment figure is 17 per cent. The real unemployment rate when we count all the people who have dropped out of the workforce is approaching 11 per cent.
Given that horrid record, is the government really intending to run on the worst job creation record since the great depression?
