Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Minister of Transport.
We heard the news that MIL Davie was treated unfairly by the Hibernia consortium in the matter of a contract that would have maintained several hundred jobs at the Lévis shipyard and, meanwhile, the federal government has yet to announce what it intends to do about the proposal by the Government of Quebec for the construction of a ferry for the Magdalen Islands.
When is the minister going to respond to the proposal made by the Government of Quebec on November 14, and how can he justify his government's slow response?
