Mr. Speaker, in 1969, the federal government could have forced Quebec to open a corridor to let Newfoundland run its power lines through Quebec's territory. It did not do that. Had it done so, it would have been totally unacceptable.
I ask the member opposite, who is the chairman of the natural resources committee, to assure me that his government will respect the terms of the contract, which was duly signed-as the member himself said earlier-between the CFLCO and Hydro-Quebec.
