Mr. Speaker, the facts of the matter are this. We presented to the province of Quebec, as we did to all provinces, a proposal on a labour and manpower agreement that would offer wide responsibility to all provinces to help set planning priorities for federal human resource expenditures in each of the provinces.
In the case of Quebec the count was close to 60 or 70 per cent of the human resource expenditures in terms of helping engage in that planning.
At this time I have not received a response from the province of Quebec on that proposal. If that response is received, we are prepared to sit down and talk about all the programs. Once the province of Quebec responds we will co-operate with it.
