We were not doing enough. Now we are doing too much, because we told the people of Quebec that these industries developed thanks to the presence of the federal government. The federal government has been giving subsidies to these businesses for 25 years. They are not being given because of an upcoming referendum. Twenty-five years ago we developed these programs of assistance to industry, which have resulted, in certain sectors, in Quebec workers being able today to sell their products worldwide.
This is why the heads of business who succeeded, with the help of the federal government, in developing these businesses want to keep them for the benefit of people working there.
Mr. Beaudouin probably has a pretty solid bank account, but if a disaster strikes, it will not be he who suffers, it will be the the families of people working in his plants. These are the people we want to protect, rather than leap into the void in the adventure that these folks here are proposing for Quebec. Quebecers know they are living in Canada, the best country in the world, and on October 30, they will vote for Canada.
