Mr. Speaker, would the minister agree that the debt has been paid down on the backs of unemployed workers and by means of the EI fund?
The minister gives wonderful statistics with respect to unemployment, saying that it has gone from 11% to 7.8%. However, the government never explains why there has been an increase in the number of food banks in Canada and what the statistics on them are now.
The government never tells us how many 25 and 30 year-olds are obliged to continue to live with their parents and how their parents have to support them.
These are the figures I would like the minister to give us, for these are the figures that really count and that are on the minds of Canadians.
