Mr. Speaker, we have been trying for several months now to explain to the opposition members that the situation regarding the ferry between the Magdalen Islands and Prince Edward Island must be worked out between Transport Canada and the operator of the service, who receives an annual subsidy to provide ferry services to those wishing to use them.
As far as MIL Davie and the construction of a ship is concerned, this is related to industry, to the creation of jobs in Quebec. The difference between the two issues is easily understood. I hope that with time, possibly in a year or two, the distinction will become clear to my hon. colleagues from the Bloc.
