Mr. Speaker, obviously, the question of the Convention Centre is an important one to the government.
The economic fallout from the Convention Centre is recognized by this side of the House, where we are working like mad to make it possible for some form of agreement to be reached on the matter of the Convention Centre.
While addressing the question of the Montreal Convention Centre, however, it must also be kept in mind that there are other requests from pretty well all over Quebec and Canada. As a result, this request has to be looked at from a national point of view.
It is unfortunate that the Government of Quebec had a so-called infrastructure program that they did not make use of for such an important project.
