Ms. McLellan
Mr. Speaker, perhaps my hon. colleague is under some misapprehension as to who I am and what I do. I am not the secretary of state for human resources. I am the Ministerof Natural Resources. There is a difference, although I take the
point that perhaps our greatest natural resource in this country is our people. Having said that I will respond to a couple of the comments made by my learned colleague.
In relation to his concern about unemployment insurance as my comments indicated the reforms of this system are ongoing. There will be a far reaching consultative process with Canadians. In the interim however we have targeted those people most in need to ensure that their benefits are increased. Those most in need with modest incomes, with dependents be they children, elderly parents or disabled family members, are going to see their benefits increase to 60 per cent.
In relation to the hon. member's concern about jobs and job creation this government believes the single greatest engine of job creation in this country will be small business.
I reiterate those steps the Minister of Finance and this government have taken to encourage small business to create more jobs. The Minister of Finance offered small business a challenge in his budget. I have no reason to believe that the small businesses will not take that challenge and create tens of thousands of new jobs across this country.

Hon. Anne McLellan (Minister of Natural Resources)
Mr. Speaker, I believe as a government we should work in partnership with neighbours around the world to ensure that our commitment to sustainable development is fulfilled wherever possible.
Subtopic: Forestry
February 22, 1994
Hon. Anne McLellan (Minister of Natural Resources)
Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question.
The hon. member may be aware that Canada has pioneered the concept of model forests. It is part of our commitment to manage forestry and sustainable development. We think we are very lucky that we have been able to enter into partnerships and transfer this important technology and skill to partners, be it Mexico or the former Soviet Union. I am going to be encouraging my department, the Department of Natural Resources, to enter into further partnerships to ensure that globally we continue our strong commitment to sustainable development in our forest sector.

Hon. Anne McLellan (Minister of Natural Resources)
Mr. Speaker, I can assure the hon. member that this government has no plans to open offices in Vancouver and Halifax.
Subtopic: Atomic Energy Control Board
February 21, 1994
Hon. Anne McLellan (Minister of Natural Resources)
Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question. Let me say that ours was the only party in the last election that produced a mining policy. In that policy we are committed in the coming years to review a number of options which we hope will once again make the mining industry a viable and profitable one.
