I may want to quickly read an article. In English, the headline more or less reads as follows: Drilling on Anticosti Island a good thing, says Minister Blanchet. The article was written by Paul Journet, an eminent journalist whose reputation is unassailable.
You look a little confused, Mr. Chair, so I can tell this is your first exposure to Mr. Journet. However, I do know that others here are familiar with him, including the member for Outremont, who knows him quite well. I do too, since he is an old colleague from my days as a reporter at the National Assembly of Quebec.
In a June 8, 2013 article in La Presse, Paul Journet wrote something along these lines:The regulations to protect water during drilling activities won't necessarily prevent oil exploration on Anticosti Island, and that's a good thing, according to environment minister Yves‑François Blanchet.
He is, of course, referring to the current leader of the Bloc Québécois.
