Mr. Speaker, I see that the fifth Bloc MP is continuing in the time-honoured tradition of the Bloc: passive measures only. This is totally in keeping with the logic of this party, which dwells completely on the past.
I would point out that our government was the first to act in connection with the BC mine. We gave $3 million to help the miners to get training, and wage subsidies in other fields.
We were the first. They were the ones who opted not to take the POWA, which was already available to them.
