Madam Speaker, what worries me most about that question is to hear the members say the Liberal government “will continue to”. I think what Canadians want to hear is that the Liberal government “will stop doing”. Canadians want to hear that the government will stop doing what it has been doing, because it is not working, and they would rather do something different. Frankly, during the election, the Liberals wanted to give the impression that they “would not continue to” and they “would stop doing”, yet we do see a lot more “continuing to” than stopping, and the trajectory continues.
The member's account of the numbers is simply wrong. He should read the StatsCan report; there is 7% unemployment, and one in five students cannot find a job. That is a terrible record. It is time to change course.
