Mr. Speaker, I am really happy that the representative for the Official Opposition, my hon. colleague, has risen to place a number of comments that would be questions. I will respond no less.
He indicated that party officials and leaders were not the ones who wanted this question of jurisdiction to be settled, it was the people who wanted it. Since the election I have been into Quebec twice and I have an idea of some of the things they want. They want leadership. The Official Opposition has been given the mandate to express leadership with a vision to creating jobs and an atmosphere that would be conducive to improving the economy. They have also been given the mandate to create better opportunities for Quebecers.
On my forays into Quebec, on the consultations with the youth service corps, the most popular elements of the five streams of the youth service corps program were the personal development and social development aspects of that program. That had the greatest interest because those were particular to the needs of the people who have the greatest need in Quebec.
We know if we get the co-operation for change, we are engaging in this particular approach to effect change fundamentally, a major restructuring, so that we can provide the opportunities that are lacking there. We are appealing to the Official Opposition for its co-operation.
