Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for his remarks which I enjoyed very much.
I have travelled in the area of Chicoutimi and Jonquière and it is a lovely part of the country.
I do have one question in the context of his remarks about federalism. I want to ask him whether he feels the unemployed people of Chicoutimi and Jonquière, of whom he spoke so graphically, would be better off, whether they would have better job prospects in the reduced economy of a separate Quebec.
