Mr. Speaker, it takes some nerve to give us such an answer, at a time when there are Quebec students here in Ottawa.
It would be so simple for the federal government to pay Quebec its fair share of the funds, so that the scholarships could be distributed through the existing structures. The bureaucratic costs would be lessened and, as well, the money would end up going to the students.
If the minister really wants to help students, let him give us one good reason for being as stubborn as he is right now.
