Mr. Speaker, with help from various parties, including an officer in the Department of Human Resources Development who felt that the undertaking qualified under the job creation program, 21 workers from Confection Haut de Gamme, located in Vanier, in Quebec City, formed a co-operative.
Following an error of interpretation by the department, the expected contribution of $105,000 was withheld.
Is the minister prepared to review her department's decision in order to be fair to these workers and save 21 jobs?
