You are aware of the position of the Government of Quebec and the governments of some other provinces. How can we justify spending millions of dollars in an area of provincial jurisdiction, without provincial agreement? The last time I heard Ms. Jérôme-Forget's opinion on the question, it could not have been more clear. For her, the plan was unacceptable.
Is it not a waste of money to do research in an area where Quebec and other provinces are completely opposed? Is the government not running into a wall, and heading for legal confrontation, if we accept this kind of revenue and expense?
