Mr. Speaker, action in the matter of the Montreal Convention Centre has become urgent.
All of the business world is calling for the federal government to do its share in the expansion project. With every passing day, Montreal is at risk of losing conference business, and meanwhile the Secretary of State says he is looking at an alternative.
Since the Minister of Industry said there are no more funds available, can the secretary of state responsible for regional development tell us what alternative he is looking at, and what deadline he has set for making a decision?
