Mr. Speaker, it is quite clear that marine transportation policy is a responsibility of the Minister of Transport. Indeed, he has answered questions on the matter, in the House, on several occasions. The hon. member said, as did his colleague, that the Minister of Finance did not have the right to act in certain areas or to set policy because he was formerly in business. This is a disgrace.
When you talk to Ghislain Dufour, he asks that more businesspersons come to Parliament. This is the second time that the hon. member tries in one way or another to suggest that things are not right because the Minister of Finance was previously in business. This is unfair.
Let me just add that the Minister of Transport already made some commitments in this House regarding the smart ship.
