Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for taking time out of his busy schedule to come here and read the departmental briefing notes.
I sincerely want to ask him a question because I know him to be a man with a big heart.
His government denied that the economic situation was bad and all of a sudden it agreed that it was bad and getting worse all the time. In light of what is facing Canadian workers, does he not think it is time to rethink the measures in the budget and do more to help Canada's unemployed?
