Mr. Speaker, we will certainly do our best to respect the interests of all concerned during these negotiations. I have no reason to believe that we will not have, between officials of both governments, discussions that will be profitable to both levels of government.
However, I must point out to my hon. friend that all the other provinces of Canada also attach a great deal of importance to this whole issue. That is why our offer to withdraw from the area of manpower training applies to all the provinces. I hope that an agreement can be reached as soon as possible with Quebec as with the other provinces.
