Mr. Speaker, I must acknowledge the presence of the minister in the House at this hour. I commend him.
That is a very good question. That is odd. Last year, by the time the program was announced, there were already ads saying that jobs had been created. Now, the minister just admitted that the program did not exist and that it still does not exist. The only thing that has happened is that an agreement has been made. However, the agreement was forced on the provinces because this government threatened them and forced them to accept the money or lose it.
Has the program created a single job? Is there a single student who has registered for these educational programs? I do not know of any.
