Whatever the case may be, all the people around the table, who represent, for example, the Alliance de l'industrie touristique du Québec, the Union des municipalités du Québec or Quebec airports, would like to be able to speak with federal representatives. If the federal government were at the table, it would help everyone better understand the limitations or challenges at the federal level. Just because the federal government is at the table doesn't necessarily mean that it's committed to doing exactly what some of the stakeholders are recommending. However, it allows for a dialogue.
I get the impression that Quebec is working on its own and that the federal government is somewhat interested in what's happening there. In any case, it's more or less present. This doesn't seem to show that the federal government is proactive in matters that affect Quebec.
