Despite our high rate of unemployment, 300,000 jobs go unfilled largely because many of the unemployed lack the skills needed today as a result of technological progress. For me, unemployment and poverty in the Greater Montreal area is not mainly a problem of structure, or design, or statistics. It is a profoundly human situation. For over 20 years, the federal and provincial governments have made enormous efforts employing a variety of approaches in an attempt to stimulate Montreal's economy. I believe that Canadians have the common sense to see that a better future cannot be built on fragmentation. Our first Prime Minister saw a country that would be known for its generosity of spirit. And so it is. Progressive Conservative candidates from Quebec want to exert real power in Ottawa, not simply be content with playing a secondary role. Some of you may have been hoping that today I would speak about Lucien Bouchard's latest economic theories. But I have decided to spare him for the time being: after all, he is a man. Too often, governments have operated in a vacuum, believing they could come up with some magic formula to which they have an exclusive patent. We Canadians are not given as a people to great patriotic displays. We have to define and put into practice a better, more coherent and effective policy on income security. We now know that unity, the cornerstone of Canada's greatness and prosperity, is above all a matter of emotion and reason for every citizen. Whether we say it in French with a Saguenay accent or in English with an accent from Newfoundland, and wherever we come from or wherever we live, we all share the most precious heritage that can be given to humankind - our Canadian citizenship. |
