Mr. Speaker, the remarks made yesterday by Mr. Johnson and Mr. Vallières in Quebec with respect to the earlier studies issued by Minister Le Hir were very solid and very credible criticism of Mr. Le Hir's reports which were a total distortion of the true picture.
This criticism has come not only from Mr. Johnson and Mr. Vallières. It has come from several prominent Quebec university professors. It has come from U.S. trade policy experts like Mr. Chip Roh and it has come most recently, quoted in today's La Presse , from Mr. Yvon Proulx, the chief economist of the UPA.
