Mr. Speaker, I repeat, the best way we can serve the unemployed is to give them real help to return to the labour market. And that is what we have done: 450,000 new jobs were created in the Canadian economy last year.
There are accordingly far fewer unemployed in Canada than there were. And if we followed the policy the Bloc Quebecois wants us to, we would simply go back to a system that served neither Canadians nor the unemployed.
