We need to be very clear on this issue. The person sitting before you, and also the government he represents, believes that respecting jurisdiction is of the outmost importance. I can tell you that under this government respecting Quebec's and other provinces' and territories' areas of jurisdiction goes without saying.
Now, that does not stop us however from working together with the provinces and municipalities. It is in this spirit of cooperation that we hope to be able to work alongside municipal elected representatives, and representatives from other orders of government, with a view to undertaking meaningful projects on behalf of Canadians taxpayers. There will be a spirit of both cooperation and partnership established.
