Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question. He may surprised to learn that I am among the 75 per cent of Quebecers asking that responsibility over manpower training be handed over to Quebec. I am proud to be one of them and proud as well of this employment bill. That is why I urge opposition members to vote for this bill.
Regarding manpower training, that is exactly what the federal government intends to do within the next three years, as indicated in part II of Bill C-12. If the Quebec government wants these powers to be repatriated even faster, I submit that it should enter into negotiations with the Government of Canada, and I am sure that we will agree to negotiate and that these negotiations will certainly be carried out in good faith.
