I think that everyone agrees that there is not a lot of time left. However, things can be done in the short time remaining.

We could rely on flagship projects that had already been submitted and set aside. We need to continue some of the aspects that have already been started, so that we can make sure that those key projects are completed and that the public will be interested in them.

So there is still work to be done.

I do not just want to speak for Quebec only, but you are also very aware that the 150th anniversary of Confederation and the 375th anniversary of Montreal are linked. The Government of Canada is involved in both birthday celebrations, Canada’s and Montreal’s.

As I see it, there is still work to be done on this and it still can be done.
