In August I received a document from the Government of Quebec that pointed out the number of people on welfare had been reduced, not increased.</p>\n<p>On June 22 the member for Mercier claimed that as we were reorganizing the department and decentralizing we would reduce Canada Employment Centres in Quebec to 28. What we announced was 78 Canada Employment Centres in Quebec.</p>\n<p>Any document sent in by this member has absolutely no credibility.</p>",
