Mr. Speaker, one thing is certain: our government has lowered unemployment in Canada by 3% over the last few years. That is the lowest rate of unemployment Canada has seen since the early 1990s.
Our priority is to help workers return to the job market. Thanks to the Transitional Job Creation Fund, we have created 31,000 jobs so that the unemployed can go back to work in regions where unemployment is highest.
Our entire government cares about the most vulnerable members of our society and that is why our first investments in putting Canada's fiscal house in order were to tackle child poverty and help the disabled.
