Mr. Speaker, my colleague talked about how the Conservative government does not listen to experts, as we have said.
The Conservatives have paid more attention to lobbyists by proposing a plan that will siphon $500 million out of the employment insurance fund to create a mere 800 jobs.
In my riding, the community of White River needs about 60 employees and is having a hard time hiring people to train them. This kind of thing is happening across the province.
Does my colleague think that the $500 million would be better invested in a training program so that people can be hired in places like White River?
