Mr. Speaker, my colleague, the member for Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot, has asked me to speak on his behalf. I hope that I will not set the record for the shortest speech in the House of Commons, because what I have to say will not take very long.
My party will support Bill S-9 because it represents a technical improvement in the management of the federal government's obligations.
The Bloc Quebecois will therefore vote in favour of Bill S-9.
