Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of International Trade, or the parliamentary secretary, if he will deign to answer one of our questions for once.
The Council of Europe has just recommended a total ban on asbestos throughout its territory. This impacts seriously on this important sector of the Quebec economy.
Will the minister or the parliamentary secretary tell us whether this matter of an asbestos ban was raised when the minister met with France's minister of foreign trade last week in Paris?
