Mrs. Suzanne Tremblay (Rimouski—Neigette-et-la Mitis, BQ)
Mr. Speaker, this government has made it a habit not to keep its promises. Before the 1997 and 2000 elections, the Liberal Party had promised the unemployed that it would remedy the situation of the raid on the employment insurance fund.
But what is there in the budget to compensate for the theft of $45 million? Not one cent. After such a budget, can anyone say that this government cares about the unemployed?
While the shirtless, the Sans-chemise, are out on the street, the heartless are across from us in this House.
Subtopic: Employment Insurance

Mrs. Suzanne Tremblay (Rimouski—Neigette-et-la Mitis, BQ)
Mr. Speaker, one has to be really heartless to let people in our regions suffer from a crisis for which they are not even responsible. The aid package proposed by the Bloc Quebecois includes special measures for workers hit by the softwood lumber crisis.
How can the government explain to those suffering that it does not have any money for them after raiding the EI fund year after year, to the tune of $45 billion?
Subtopic: Employment Insurance

Mrs. Suzanne Tremblay (Rimouski—Neigette-et-la Mitis, BQ)
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister just announced $680 million for cattle farmers, but this assistance excludes cull cows, which is a problem mainly in Quebec.
How can the government announce such substantial assistance without any help for Quebec farmers faced with the cull problem?
Subtopic: Agriculture

Mrs. Suzanne Tremblay (Rimouski—Neigette-et-la Mitis, BQ)
Mr. Speaker, the parliamentary secretary just talked about a $1 billion program, but on television the sum announced was $680 million. It would be nice to get the facts straight.
Quebec's farmers have already denounced the help that is currently available, since they can only get compensation for two-thirds of the animals they slaughter.
How does the government explain to farmers that it did not deign to improve assistance for cull, when these farmers are in an extremely difficult situation? Is this government trying to say that Quebec farmers do not count?
Subtopic: Agriculture

Mrs. Suzanne Tremblay (Rimouski—Neigette-et-la Mitis, BQ)
Mr. Speaker, the Quebec and New Brunswick governments have signed an agreement to develop a joint strategy and thereby avoid a repetition of last year's crisis in the crab fishery. That crisis affected 3,000 workers in Canada, including 1,000 in the Gaspé. These two governments are doing more than their share.
Given that it will be crab fishing season very soon, will the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans accept his responsibilities by tabling his plan for the snow crab fishery without further delay?
