Mr. Speaker, first, I would like to congratulate the hon. member for Hochelaga-Maisonneuve for the soundness of his remarks.
We, in the Bloc Quebecois, consider the conversion of defence industries to be of great importance and we think that government members too, when sitting in the opposition, believed that to be important. It seems that changing sides in the House also means suddenly changing argument.
So I have a question for my hon. colleague. I would like him to explain the position of the Bloc Quebecois and also the different stages it would be important to go through. Government members opposite keep saying they want to listen; so I hope that at some point, after we have explained to them one last time what it is they should do, they will stop listening and finally take action.
