Mr. Chair, my role is not the same as my colleague Mr. Généreux's, who was the mayor of La Pocatière. He is trying to say that the government has done a good job, but the goal is to find a solution. The fact is that we have in front of us a government that has committed certain moneys. It took time for the agreements to be signed, and some municipalities are facing problems because the Conservative government does not understand the situation on the ground at present.
We don't think this is complicated. If the money was committed and the agreements signed too late, because the money has already been spent, what is the problem in allowing extra time, for example six months, to make sure that people's quality of life is taken directly into account? That is the real question. Nobody will be asking whether you voted for the Conservatives in the last election or whether you're a nice person. They want to know whether it's possible to find a solution.
The plan was a good one. In fact, the infrastructure programs were so good that they were originated by the Liberal Party in 1993. A journalist is present, so as long as we're doing the recovery, we could record clips and make the news. But that is not our objective today. We want to find a solution without playing politics, to contribute to people's quality of life.
Mr. Vaillancourt and Mr. Généreux, what do you think?
