Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has just described Quebec's deepest aspirations as a whim. This is one issue on which all players in Quebec, be they economists, politicians, employers, employees or trade unionists, firmly agree. It is shameful to dismiss in this manner an issue which has brought together all players in Quebec, both in the public and private sectors.
My question for the Prime Minister, since his proposal-one which has not yet been formally made but which has been announced by his minister-has already been rejected by the head of the Quebec government and since it would maintain the current mess and the single window system for all federal and provincial programs, a system which confounds everyone, is this: Will he now admit that he must review this stillborn proposal to bring it in line with Quebec's aspirations?
