Michel Guimond Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, QC
Mr. Speaker, in response to a question from the Bloc Québécois, the Minister of Canadian Heritage showed the second part of the stimulus plan presented by the Bloc Québécois, the April 2009 version. The minister mentioned that, in the stimulus plan, there was nothing for culture. Therefore, I wish to ask for the unanimous consent of the House to table the first part of the stimulus plan that was presented on November 24, 2008 and in which the Bloc Québécois specifically asked for cultural programs to be restored.
