Mr. Speaker, the minister forgot to mention that active measures are not his responsibility. In most cases, they are now the provinces' responsibility.
What he is responsible for is employment insurance and the transitional jobs fund. And he has failed on both counts.
How can the minister talk about helping workers with the transitional jobs fund when, besides the fact that the fund has run dry, this measly $300 million over three years represents 40 times less than what he has cut from the unemployed alone?
