Mr. Speaker, I wish to assure the House that our government is working extremely hard to ensure that there is as little unemployment as possible in Canada. In so doing, we are fulfilling our duty as a government to create a sound economy.
I can assure you that the employment insurance system has been there for the large majority of unemployed persons who have been working in recent months. We have work force integration programs, a youth employment strategy to help young people to get into the work force instead of being unemployed.
