Mr. Speaker, first of all, I may refer the minister to what he said yesterday: "The Parti Quebecois constitutes a threat to the country". Second, what he just said is not at all reassuring, since he tells us this government has a duty to take all necessary steps, which says it all.
Since the minister considers the Parti Quebecois to be a threat to Canada, I wonder whether he could tell us whether his intelligence service, CSIS, shares that opinion and, since CSIS is the department's intelligence branch, whether CSIS intends to treat the Government of Quebec as a threat and put the Quebec government's ministers under special surveillance?
