Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
In July 1995, Quebec's advisory committee on the information highway, composed of major stakeholders in this industry, said in its report that language constitutes a vital stake in a knowledge based economy. It was shown at the Cotonou Francophone Summit that Quebec has the expertise in developing francophone contents destined for the information highway.
Does the Prime Minister intend, at his meeting with his French counterpart scheduled for next week, to promote the key role of Quebec in this sector and to draw the attention of the French Prime Minister to this expertise?
