Mr. Speaker, I say to the member that I welcome his spirit in debate. I always have.
First, I cannot speak to the specific example the member has given. I am not aware of it. The member can send me the details on it and we can study it.
Second, I cannot make a commitment, which sounds strange because of our commitment and our special sensitivity to the city of Montreal.
The third point concerns the information highway. Two days ago the Minister of Industry announced the new chairman of the national advisory committee on the information highway would be the former vice-chancellor of McGill in Montreal. The member should know the whole process of studying the information highway will be contrary to what we read in the newspaper. It is going to be one that is very open. We will be listening to experts from every region of the country. These meetings will be in public. Naturally when we have committees some of them have to be private but there will be an extensive consultation process and this government and our Minister of Industry have made the information highway a priority.
As the Prime Minister said earlier this week in the House, our commitment to this sector of the economy is most important in terms of job creation and I think the member will see in time that in no way, shape or form will we feel shy or cut short our participation in that very important sector of the economy.
