Mr. Speaker, we will be allocating in the range of $16 million toward food mail. The problem is recognized. The hon. member for Saint-Jean repeatedly brings it to the attention of the House.
We are trying to break up the food into a more definitive process: perishable and non-perishable. It will continue to be a problem. I can only commit to the member that my ministry will be there. We will be lobbying governments and, hopefully, the province of Quebec, which has a responsibility. The people living there are not only citizens of Canada, they are also citizens of Quebec. I would like to work co-operatively with Mr. Cliche and with the premier to solve the problem in Quebec.
