Mr. Speaker, once again I provide a word of some caution. The hon. member and other members of the House should not take too seriously what they see as being leaks in the press. As valuable a service as the media provides, it is not always totally accurate as to the intentions of the government.
I can say to the hon. member that one of the reasons we are holding discussions with various provincial ministers is to hear about their proposals and their ideas. I have not had the opportunity to read the comments of my Quebec counterpart, but I would certainly be interested in listening to whatever he has to say.
