Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Human Resources Development told us that Quebec's Minister of Education wrote him on February 15 about the right to withdraw with full compensation.
But nowhere in this letter is there any mention of the right to withdraw with full compensation. What is does contain is the following “I am therefore pleased about this overture and request a meeting with you at the earliest possible date for the purpose of government-to-government negotiations, in accordance with the motion passed by the National Assembly”.
Why has the minister misrepresented the contents of this letter? Why is he refusing to negotiate on the basis of this motion? It is a matter of good faith.
