Mr. Speaker, let me clarify again that the transitional jobs fund did apply in my riding. Let me say too that I have had the pleasure not only of understanding and appreciating the role that the program has had in my riding, but also for those who happen to live in the city of Cornwall.
If the hon. member would do as I have done and go to the city of Cornwall and meet with Team Cornwall, the men and women who for years have been trying to improve and diversify the economy in that city, he would know how important this investment is to the men and women who live there.
