Mr. Speaker, the documents the Minister of Human Resources Development has provided each member indicate that 51 companies which received over $12 million from the TJF in order to create jobs have gone bankrupt or closed down operations. The amazing thing is that they are supposed to have created at least 959 jobs.
Can the Deputy Prime Minister explain to us how a company that goes bankrupt or shuts down, laying off its workers, can be included in the government's job creation figures?
