Mr. Speaker, I think the speaking notes prepared for the hon. parliamentary secretary were intended for a different question.
A year ago when Kanata's high tech sector was booming, the 21 day promise of performance was almost always met. Now that thousands of workers in Kanata and the rest of eastern Ontario actually need help, the EI system is falling apart at the seams.
The government's main campaign point in recent elections has been that it is a competent manager. A manager who meets his targets only 38% of the time could expect himself to be collecting employment insurance pretty soon.
How long will it be before the targets that were met last year will be achieved in this part of the country this year?
