No, Mr. Speaker, because the hon. member is right. The consensus in Quebec is well known. However, I think everyone would agree that, before the federal government puts its position forward, we should all be sure what we are prepared to propose.
Quebec's proposal contains some very interesting points. Our commitment is simply that, when we have a proposal ready, and we should have one soon, we would like to put the federal proposal to the representatives of all the provinces. However, Quebec is obviously much further ahead in its approach, and the consensus there, which the member referred to, is well known.
I hope that once we have clearly defined Canada's position on all the issues, not just on manpower training but also on active measures, we will be able to move rapidly by sitting down at the table with Quebec's representatives and reach an agreement.
