Mr. Speaker, as I said in my intervention earlier, we are presently looking into the findings. The collection of data is being completed. The findings will permit the government to determine the degree to which a disincentive to accept small weeks of work exists. A decision on what action will be required over the long run will be made this fall. But as I said, for the time being my department continues to process claims as if the programs were to be continued. I would like once again to recognize the very good intentions of the member for Madawaska—Restigouche who really tries to do constructive work in this House as this parliament can elevate itself to.
In the House of Commons on October 26th, 1998. See this statement in context.
