Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister. On Monday, the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and the Prime Minister both said that Quebec was receiving more than its share of federal moneys for science and technology. However, the secret document prepared for Operation Unity clearly shows that, in 1993, Quebec only received 17.1 per cent of the federal moneys spent on research and development.
Given the figures provided by Industry Canada, will the Prime Minister recognize that he was wrong when he claimed that Quebec was getting its fair share, and that in fact our province was treated unfairly as regards the establishment of federal research centres?
