Mr. Speaker, at the PQ convention in November 1996, the hon. member for Argenteuil-Papineau spoke in support of a resolution asking the PQ government to support the restoration of all national and international flights to Mirabel, and to complete its transportation infrastructure.
Quebec minister Serge Ménard opposed the Bloc member for Argenteuil-Papineau, and the resolution was readily defeated.
Last weekend, the same Bloc member submitted to his party's convention an emergency resolution so watered down that it represented no threat or obligation for the PQ, which meant that it readily passed.
The hon. member for Argenteuil-Papineau was justified last November in calling for the PQ government to come out in favour of Mirabel. With the response he received at that time, he now knows who is blocking the development of Mirabel airport.
