Mr. Speaker, in the meantime, workers and communities are waiting for practical measures and we are anxious to see what these measures will be.
I also remind the minister that, during the last election campaign, the Liberals made all sorts of promises and boasted that they would solve the employment insurance problems, that they would help the regions and, moreover, that they would create jobs. Now, the softwood lumber dispute requires that the government take action.
Now that the situation requires this, what does the government intend to do to make good on its unfulfilled commitments?
