Mr. Speaker, I want to indicate to the House of Commons that yes, there were some areas in the country where the level of unemployment was lower than 12%. Because of the pockets of unemployment we decided that they were to receive grants. The riding of Kootenay—Columbia had six projects. The riding of Nanaimo—Alberni had seven projects. The riding of Nanaimo—Cowichan had six projects. I have a long list which I will keep for the next answer.
In the House of Commons on February 21st, 2000. See this statement in context.
