Mr. Speaker, my question is for the President of the Treasury Board.
Quebec's only hydro co-op, in Saint-Jean-Baptiste-de-Rouville, could go bankrupt if nothing is done to help it recover from the recent ice storm. The situation is as follows: there are 5,200 subscribers in a rural area spread over four federal ridings, the damage caused to the power grid totalled $10 million, and profits are minimal.
Will the government quickly answer the call for help from the hydro co-op in Saint-Jean-Baptiste-de-Rouville?
