I hope it will not be at the federal level. At least not as long as the Bloc Quebecois is here.
I want to remind the hon. member for Bourassa of what the editorial writer for La Presse , Alain Dubuc, who must not be a sovereignist, had to say: “This does not justify the reflex, the paternalistic approach of those who say that Ottawa would do better in a field it does not know anything about”. I do not think Mr. Dubuc is a sovereignist. I can quote many other people who do not agree with this millennium scholarship foundation.
Again, the federal government is totally disconnected and refuses to listen to what the people in the field have to say. It would be nice if the federal government were to listen to what the people tell them. Michel Auger said: “We will do what we have to do to ingratiate us in the eyes of the public in the short term and later we will dump it onto the provinces when it starts to get too costly or less popular”. What does the hon. member for Bourassa think about this?
