Mr. Speaker, I find it interesting that the member for Jonquière would make a comment like competition is essential. The very nature of the motion that the Bloc has put before the House today would restrict competition and would remove competition from the proposals of a merger. The member suggests that competition is essential, when her party has brought forward a motion which would prevent competition. I ask her, why the discrepancy?
In the House of Commons on October 28th, 1999. See this statement in context.
