Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind the hon. member that we are talking about investments in communities where the unemployment level has been high. Significant numbers, more than half of the grants and contributions have gone to opposition ridings. In talking about transitional jobs fund numbers, in areas of less than 12%, over half of the money went to opposition ridings. How can the member make such incredible assertions?
In the House of Commons on February 28th, 2000. See this statement in context.
