Madam Speaker, it seems fairly obvious that the hon. member considers former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau his guru, since he has referred to him four times within one short presentation.
What we in Quebec are demanding, and I use the word "demand" advisedly, is to have equity, to see Quebec treated equitably, to see Quebec receive what it is entitled to. It is true that by around the end of the Seventies, an aerospace system was in place in Quebec, and now the government across the way cannot be allowed to make use of legislation to kill it off bit by bit. This government must not be allowed to use dubious laws, unwanted laws, to cause Quebec's aerospace industry to disappear. I feel that this is important, and those in the industry say the same. It is one thing to establish an aerospace industry, but quite another thing to destroy one, and that is what is being done now with the legislation being passed and the way Canadian and Quebec companies are being treated.
Personally, I have no problem at all with insecurity, despite what the hon. member said about my seeming to be insecure. What I want is to see Quebec treated equitably, fairly, more fairly than at present. I think it is important-and there is no question of insecurity in working on behalf of one's constituents, the people of Quebec who elected us to this House-and I think it is important to say so.
Madam Speaker, the hon. member took seven minutes to ask his question, and it seems to me I ought to be able to respond to it.
