Mr. Speaker, there is no question that the NDP has never been faint of heart in finding ways to spend additional money.
I do want to assure the hon. member, as she may have forgotten, that the safety net programs that exist, including employment insurance and other support programs that apply in both of the situations she has described, are there and fully available to workers and those affected in the industry.
We have been prepared for events like that and we are responding in the appropriate way.
