Mr. Speaker, firstly, I believe that the hon. member is also well aware that the federal government and the Government of Quebec already have an agreement on industrial projects and that we really work well together. Take Bell Helicopter for example. We found a way to stimulate the development of technology in high tech companies in the province of Quebec.
I would also note that today, despite the enthusiasm of my Quebec counterpart, Moody's has stated that it is aware of the problems the Government of Quebec is having with its budget. I think that it might be a good idea for Quebec to find a way to regain the international markets' confidence. To do this, they would have to do two things: one, concentrate on their budget problems, and two, finally reverse the loss of confidence caused by the separatist policy proposed by this party and the Government of Quebec.
