Mr. Speaker, this is a great opportunity to say to the people of Canada that the economic program of the federal government is now starting to work full bore across the country.
Atlantic Canada and every single province had a reduction in their unemployment rate this month, a significant achievement considering the time of the year.
Under a Liberal government, before last month Nova Scotia had an unemployment rate of 11.2%. Now it is down to 10.5%. That is good news for Nova Scotia and good news for the people of Atlantic Canada. We want to say keep up the good work in Nova Scotia and across the country.
