Mr. Speaker, a major Liberal promise of the 1993 election campaign was job creation.
We have all heard those promises of jobs, jobs, job. However, according to the 1996 census there are over 2,500 fewer jobs in my constituency of West Nova than there were in 1991.
When is the government going to live up to its promise of job creation and by what means will it going to encourage industry to invest in our small rural communities?
