Mr. Speaker, as a response to the question that was asked, that was breathtakingly absurd. Is the government not aware of the job numbers? We had a four-minute response that pretends to ignore the existence of the massive drop in full-time employment. Over 100,000 full-time jobs were lost in the last month alone, yet the parliamentary secretary wants us to believe that we are about to have never had it so good and that we are poised to do all these things, which I would very much like to see happen, but the government has not approved a single major project. It continues to support job-killing measures across the board. There are some things we cannot control, but there are some things that we can. Blaming a war in the Middle East that started after these job numbers were recorded is clearly absurd.
When it comes to the budget, the Liberals' budget cut off vocational colleges from student grants completely. Why in the world are they continuing to attack training and undermine job growth in this country?
