Thank you Mr. Speaker for being so understanding.
I will answer the hon. member for Longueuil. The question comes unexpectedly, even though the member and I belong to the same party. We can make a comparison. I am convinced that when a Liberal member asks a question to a Liberal minister during question period, viewers in Canada and Quebec can tell that the answer has already been prepared. However, this is not the case here. I did not expect the question from the hon. member for Longueuil. However, I will try to answer it to the best of my knowledge.
