Madam Speaker, members opposite speak about vocational training. In 1975 and 1970, more than 20 years ago, we had five or six vocational training programs at the high school in Bonaventure. Today, there are only a couple left.
Quebec withdrew from its commitment to vocational training. That should not be blamed on the Canadian government. A question was asked about the $250 or $300 million funding. This is a matter of harmonization, and of reaching an administrative agreement with Quebec. Negotiations are under way and I can tell you we are making good progress.
They talk about the high-speed train between Quebec City and Windsor. What would happen if Quebec became independent? Are we going to set up a border? Probably. You think everything will be easy, but there are hard and cold facts. Liberals want to concentrate on job creation and economic renewal. Quite honestly, sovereignty does not solve any of our real day-to-day problems.
