Mr. Speaker, Quebec's plan does not necessarily bother the federal government, but it should bother Quebec taxpayers.
At this stage, the important thing is to come up with a new model. It is well known that if we can, as a partnership, come up with a new model, the odds are good that GM will not need government assistance, given what happened in the other provinces. But now that the Government of Quebec has tipped its hand, there will obviously be no turning back, should a new model later be found. The $360 million is already on the table and probably ill-advisedly.
