Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance and Minister responsible for the Federal Office of Regional Development-Quebec. We would like to remind him that the Eastern Quebec Development Plan affects 5,800 woodlot owners in that area. The Bloc Quebecois has been asking the same questions for months, but the federal government has yet to confirm its intentions regarding the Eastern Quebec Development Plan.
What is the government waiting for to go ahead and extend the plan until a regional forestry development agency is created?
