Mr. Speaker, I have here two lists, one obtained under the Access to Information Act and the other from the minister, with two sets of figures.
In the first list, Household Finance received $2,505,000 in the riding of Mercier to create 522 jobs; in the other, the same company received $2,841,600 in Hochelaga—Maisonneuve to create 592 jobs.
How does the minister explain this difference of 70 jobs and $300,000?
