Mr. Speaker, now we know that to get applause from all sides of this House, you have to play hockey.
In its secret document prepared for Operation Unity, the federal Department of Industry made a list of Quebec companies, indicating subsidies they had received or will receive from Ottawa. And all for the sole purpose of urging business leaders to support the No side. By strange coincidence, yesterday senior executives of one of the companies targeted by Industry Canada, Spar Aerospace, urged employees at the plant in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue to vote No.
My question is directed to the Prime Minister. How can he go on claiming that Industry Canada's secret document is a routine economic report, when it actually lists the political views of top business leaders?
