Mr. Speaker, members of that party can raise individual circumstances. They can talk about this but we know they are not interested in our work, in improving the administration of my department.
What we know is true is that they do not believe that the Government of Canada should assist in areas like Atlantic Canada and the Acadian Peninsula to help men and women who do not have the opportunity to work. What we know is that they would cut $15 billion out of social programs because they think everyone should be able to look after themselves. What we know is that they call these programs wasteful when indeed we know they make a difference in the lives of Canadians.
