Mr. Speaker, we are very concerned about helping all those who have been unfortunate enough to lose their jobs in this global economic recession. That is why almost a year ago we brought in five extra weeks of benefits, but the NDP voted against it. We brought in an expansion of work sharing to protect Canadians' jobs, but the NDP voted against it.
We also brought in assistance for long-tenured workers recently. Because we know that they are having trouble getting jobs, we are offering them additional training in unprecedented amounts because we want to get the job done.
