Mr. Speaker, during the crisis in the Saguenay we faced the same problem and we set up a program, where the costs were shared with the province of Quebec, to enable business to get back on its feet.
In my negotiations with Mr. Brassard to date, during which I gave him an initial cheque for $50 million, I wanted to address the question of assistance to business. He has indicated to me that we could discuss this matter later on. Groups have already been established for negotiations on the subject.
