Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister. We just learned that the federal government is about to spend over half a million dollars on a series of television programs to be aired weekly to promote federal services, but only in Quebec.
The Director of Communications for the Department of Human Resources Development said that the project has nothing to do with the referendum, and she added: "We are not getting involved in politics".
If this is not a pre-referendum operation, will the Prime Minister tell us why these documentary films on federal services will only be aired in Quebec?
