Mr. Speaker, I can give a list of a number of people and organizations who have supported these programs.
What is clear from the questions of opposition members is that they do not accept that there are areas of high unemployment in this country. They do not accept, as Canadians believe, that we have a duty to work with those areas, whether it be in Atlantic Canada, in Quebec, in Ontario or even in northern British Columbia.
They do not accept that there is a way for the people of Canada to help those who are less fortunate to benefit from the success of this great nation, but we do.
