Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the member for Windsor West on an excellent speech today and on his advocacy.
My heart goes out to his community, because I noted in Friday's release from Statistics Canada on labour market numbers that there is sadly a very high unemployment rate in Windsor. Numbers are high throughout southern Ontario. Unemployment is 7% nationally and 8.8% in Toronto but 10.8% in Windsor. Windsor has really borne the brunt of Liberal economic failures. At a time when the whole country, and particularly his city, is dealing with such high unemployment, what a disaster that the Liberals cannot even present a budget. They have no plan and no budget.
I wonder if the member could share what the response has been in his riding to the high levels of unemployment and the failure of the Liberals to present a budget.
