Madam Speaker, I recall in 1993 in my area of Niagara Falls we had an employment rate of 14.5% and without any specific sector creating unemployment my area now has only a 6% unemployment rate.
It is not the government's responsibility to pay people to stay at home. It is up to the government to create the atmosphere so the private sector, individuals like me and my colleagues, can create the jobs. We do not need money to provide for unemployment. We need employers to create an atmosphere where the employer could make money and employ more people. That is the role of this government and that is the role for people we should be looking at.
