Adam Chambers Conservative
“The government is celebrating new jobs, but people are still hurting in different parts of the country. Unemployment is not the same everywhere, and new jobs are not helping the 80,000 people who just lost theirs. The government needs to pay attention.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for her excellent question and for pointing out that the economy is not uniform across the country. The government applauds job numbers that we saw on Friday, and by the way, those monthly numbers happen to get revised quite substantially. Unemployment is different across the entire country. Those jobs that we see added are not necessarily going to those 80,000 people who lost jobs in the previous number of months. This is a challenge. We are trying to show the government that there is economic pain in different parts of this country, and the government ought to start paying attention.”
