Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transport.
Yesterday, the Quebec Minister of Industry and Commerce had a secret meeting with the federal ministers of Industry and Transport. According to the daily Le Droit , the review of drug patent legislation, the high-speed train issue and the construction of the Magdalen Islands ferry were on the agenda.
Can the Minister of Transport tell us if, during that meeting, he gave a positive reply to the Quebec Minister of Industry regarding the awarding to MIL Davie of the contract for the construction of the Magdalen Islands ferry and the multipurpose smart ship?
