Mr. Speaker, I always take my responsibilities very seriously, but the government has several partners. I have to work with the Red Cross and the provincial governments, and we each have to do our share.
Regarding the hon. member's question, this issue is mainly a matter of provincial jurisdiction. Does the hon. member for the Bloc Quebecois really want me to take the responsibility for telling the provinces what they should do? On all other issues, the Bloc québécois says: "Do not interfere in matters that come under provincial jurisdiction, and we even intend to leave this country to make sure that will not happen".
That being said, I will continue to work with all the parties concerned.
