Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Canadian ambassador to France, Jacques Roy, continued his tour of Quebec under the aegis of the Council for Canadian unity. The ambassador delivered the message of national unity to Quebeckers from Trois-Rivières to Quebec City and will do so through the lower St. Lawrence as well.
My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister. How does the Deputy Prime Minister justify having a diplomat, who is supposed to be representing us abroad, on a clearly partisan tour of Quebec with and under the aegis of an organization that is no less partisan, the Council for Canadian unity?
