Mr. Speaker, one of the ways in which government makes sure the money it spends is well spent is to involve the local people. The hon. member asked why people in Ottawa should be making these decisions. He may not be aware but in ridings such as mine it is actually the local people who come together in various fashions and who sit down and work with the Canada Employment Centre offices to make sure that money goes into the area specifically where it is needed most.
In a lot of areas, in particular in an area like southwestern Ontario, there are pockets of high unemployment. That is really where we want those moneys to be directed.
