Mr. Speaker, I am very happy to tell the hon. member that there will be an additional $30 million for work sharing while learning, $14.5 million for increased referrals to training and $15 million for older worker pilot projects. This will be available in areas where the unemployment level is over 10% because we want to make sure the additional measures reach those most in need.
I also want to remind the hon. member that every year $450 million in employment insurance benefits goes to workers in the forestry industry.
