Mr. Speaker, once again, today we see the results of failed Conservative economic policies.
Despite government assertions that the economic crisis is behind us, 43,000 more Canadians were thrown out of work in October. There are 43,000 more Canadians now facing a grim winter, many of them women and young people. Sadly, most of them will not qualify for EI.
When will the government realize that its economic action plan is failing? When will it figure out that it needs to change the direction it has taken?
