Madam Speaker, I would first like to thank my colleague for his question. It gives me an opportunity to elaborate on my ideas a bit. I honestly did not come to Ottawa to play games. I believe in our people. I think they are hard-working people.
Supposedly at home some 30% of young people drop out of school. But those who go to school and university end up with debts of $25,000 or $30,000. They cannot repay them, and their parents are stuck with them. There is no work, and that has to be taken into account.
What does February's budget have to offer? Perhaps a $3,500 exemption on a loan, but people who are unemployed will still have $22,000 to pay back. They come out of university and have no work. That is one of the major problems.
I will give you an example of what happens at home. With the employment insurance surplus—since there is the $5 million the federal government gave—we should be able to resolve the problems with employment insurance, but things are done always at the last minute. There is no way to get organized ahead of time to give our people a good education. It is a last-minute band-aid approach that is badly organized. I said there are things we can do, and we will do them by working together.
