Madam Speaker, this past weekend I attended an economic forum in the riding of Matapédia—Matane. Do you know what the people there are calling for, are demanding? They are saying that money has been lifted from their pockets. They should get that money back.
When the hon. member said “yes, there is money coming in, but we don't know how to return it”, well, it must be returned to those whose pockets it was taken from, and in the amount taken. Are you brave enough to give back the money you have taken, you have stolen, from the poor, from the most disadvantaged? I am asking that the people of Matapédia—Matane get that money back.
Next Tuesday I will be seeing the fishers of Tourelle. They are 50, 40 or 30 hours short of eligibility for unemployment insurance. What is to be done with them? They will find the winter a very long one, and I am asking my colleague, if she has a little compassion, to do something for the families of those people, for their children. I am asking her to push her government a bit, give it a little jolt to get its heart working a bit.
