Madam Speaker, I have a short question. Since it is almost two o'clock, I would prefer to begin my remarks after question period.
I would like to build on the member for Vaudreuil's point. He alluded to the notion of creating this infrastructure, which ultimately leads to exports. This is the point I was trying to make earlier to the member for Kootenay East when I asked the member of the Reform Party if he did not see the investment that was made in the automotive industry from the auto pact until the free trade agreement. Under the free trade agreement we do not have the same options of opportunity to invest in that industry, but thank goodness it has a great foundation now: the auto pact leads, in terms of job creation and exports, any sector in our country.
The point I was trying to make to the Reform Party is this infrastructure we have invested in within the province of Quebec in the aerospace industry now leads to tremendous exports not only in terms of military hardware, helicopters, et cetera, but also aircraft like the Canadair commuter jet, which is now being exported all over the world, creating jobs not only within the province of Quebec but across the country.
Could the member for Vaudreuil confirm for the House that the investments the Liberal government has made in the aerospace industry are now leading to all kinds of exports around the world, which ultimately means jobs for Canadians?
