Mr. Speaker, as a matter of fact I believe that cases like the ones denounced by the hon. member can be found all over Canada. It is perhaps for that reason that members in committee unanimously supported important amendments to the report.
I believe that the time has come for concerned members of the Liberal majority to rise to express their opinion and tell the government that the position they took was a reasonable one and that they stand by it.
The hon. member for Shefford, the hon. member for Bonaventure—Gaspé—Îles-de-la-Madeleine—Pabok, the hon. member for Madawaska—Restigouche, who is my neighbour in New Brunswick, and other members who sit on the committee and all those who represent areas having a high rate of unemployment or facing a recession are invited to rise. I invite hon. members to show courage so that we may continue the debate and adopt the report.
