Mr. Speaker, at a time when all Quebec decision makers are meeting, the minister, in his written response yesterday, did not seem to understand that a clear signal was given on October 30.
I ask the minister to admit that this is a pressing matter and, as the Liberal minister, Mr. Bourbeau, himself said, that the issue of manpower in Quebec is a manifestation of the confusion, red tape and inefficiency that come from having two systems. I urge the minister not only to respect the Quebec consensus but also to abide by it during negotiations.
