Mr. Speaker, the official opposition asks the questions and the government is supposed to answer. Until now, the list of those in Quebec who oppose the plan is growing daily.
I would ask him the following question: Will the minister admit that a Canadian securities commission would, in the opinion of many, concentrate all Canada's financial expertise in Toronto and thus reduce all other financial centres, including Montreal, to mere branch offices of the Toronto head office, without real powers? That is the reality.
