Mr. Speaker, I thought the answers I provided to other Bloc Quebecois members on that issue were quite clear. As mentioned in the red book, DIPP will indeed be the basis of our conversion program for military industries. Also, as I indicated, since we were elected, 39 out of 41 proposals accepted by this government concerned civilian projects or both military and civilian production, and had nothing to do with DIPP.
I do not understand why the Bloc objects to the fact that, even with a program such as DIPP, we can choose proposals related to civilian purposes, and also objects to the commitment we made to the effect that we could change some aspects of that program to stop the wasting of money, by setting up a system which would benefit from contributions made by companies. This is a program for the conversion of military industries.
