Mr. Speaker, I listened to the member for the Bloc talking about the prebudget run-ups. I just want to get a clear understanding what the member would say to this question. If there were one thing the Government of Canada could do to help the unemployment situation in his particular riding and in the province what would that one thing be? Would it be to pour millions of dollars into the province and into his riding by way of job creation projects, or would it be to give the private sector in the province of Quebec and in his riding an incentive through the lowering of taxes and the lowering of costs of doing business so that the environment of the business community would be such that it could flourish and prosper, thus creating more jobs? I want to be clear on exactly which one he would choose.
If the province of Quebec was in fact a separate state or nation, would the member ask those running the country to do exactly the same thing?
