Mr. Speaker, the day before yesterday, the members of the National Assembly of Quebec unanimously passed a resolution calling on the Government of Canada to stop using the EI fund to pay down the federal debt and to make a transfer payment to Quebec for labour market development.
The National Assembly of Quebec would like to see an additional agreement reached that would put an end to the overlap in funding Quebec initiatives in labour market development.
Does the Minister of Human Resources Development not think the time has come to sit down with her counterpart in Quebec to negotiate this agreement, which would help develop the labour market by putting an end to these unnecessary overlaps?
